○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

Spotters are needed for lifts where there's a higher risk of injury or being trapped under weight. Deadlifts (with heavy weights, though some variations might need, but bench presses (where a spotter can help with the bar if fatigue sets in) and squats (especially with heavy barbell squats) often require spotters. Options B, C, D have exercises like curls, butterflies, reversed rows, flies, lunges which are less likely to need spotters as they have lower risk of being pinned or need less assistance in the same way. So A is correct.

Answer:

A. dead lifts, bench presses, and squats
