In Cisco IOS-XE, when a call is received on a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) dial-peer, the router matches the incoming call to the appropriate inbound POTS dial-peer. This matching process is based on certain criteria, and the dial-peer with the highest matching preference is selected.

Out of the given options, the dial-peer command with the lowest preference for inbound POTS dial-peer matching is "Destination-pattern <number-string>."

Explanation of other options:

A. Carrier-id source <string>: This command is used to specify the carrier identification source for the POTS dial-peer. It is not used in the inbound POTS dial-peer matching process.

B. Answer-address <number-string>: This command is used to specify the address to which the call should be answered. It is not used in the inbound POTS dial-peer matching process.

C. Port <voice-port-number>: This command is used to specify the voice port on which the call should be received. It is not used in the inbound POTS dial-peer matching process.

D. Destination-pattern <number-string>: This command is used to specify the called number pattern that should match the incoming call. The dial-peer with the highest matching preference is selected. However, in this question, we are asked for the dial-peer command with the lowest preference for inbound POTS dial-peer matching.

E. Incoming called-number <number-string>: This command is used to specify the called number that should match the incoming call. It is not used in the inbound POTS dial-peer matching process.

Therefore, the correct answer is D, i.e., "Destination-pattern <number-string>."
