a
b

Explanation:

• Option A: A spotter's main role is safety. Some lifts (like light dumbbell curls) don't need a spotter, while heavy barbell lifts do. This statement is correct.
• Option B: Spotters are needed in more than just strength - building (e.g., in some bodyweight exercises with high risk).
• Option C: Spotters' primary role is safety, not just counting reps or restacking weights.
• Option D: Spotters should focus on the lifter, not work out themselves.

Answer:

A. Lisa says, "A spotter is important to protect the safety of the lifter but is not necessary for all types of lifts."
