while ice skating, alice slipped and injured her knee. which is the best way this injury could have been prevented?
a. by resting periodically to maintain her strength
b. by taking skating lessons to better her technique
c. by wearing safety equipment appropriate to the activity

Explanation:

• Option B: Taking skating lessons to better technique may improve overall skating ability but not directly prevent a slip - which is a mechanical accident.
• Option C: Wearing safety equipment appropriate to the activity (such as knee pads) can directly protect the knee from injury in case of a slip.
