Explanation:

• Option A: Moving up and down as the lifter moves is not a standard or safe spotting practice for a deadlift.
• Option B: Keeping hands on the bar at all times is incorrect as it can interfere with the lifter's movement.
• Option C: When spotting a deadlift, the spotter should not touch the lifter unless necessary (e.g., to assist if they are in danger of dropping the weight or injury), which is a correct principle.
• Option D: Staying away from the lifter defeats the purpose of spotting, as the spotter should be close enough to assist if needed.

C. remember not to touch the lifter unless needed
