please select the best answer from the choices provided.

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

Spotting a deadlift requires allowing the lifter to complete the lift independently unless they struggle or lose control. Touching unnecessarily disrupts their form. Option A is incorrect (spotter doesn’t mirror movement), B is wrong (hands off unless needed), D is incorrect (spotter stays close to assist safely).

Answer:

C. remember not to touch the lifter unless needed
