please select the best answer from the choices provided.

○ a
○ b
○ c

Explanation:

A spotter's core role is safety (e.g., preventing weights from falling on the lifter). Lisa correctly notes their safety importance and that they aren’t needed for all lifts (e.g., single-arm dumbbell rows may not require a spotter). Shawna’s "only strength workouts" is wrong (spotters help with any lift posing safety risks). Rachel’s focus on reps/weights is incorrect (not their main role). Emma’s "motivation + working out while spotting" is wrong (spotters must focus on the lifter, not their own workout).

Answer:

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