Answer:

C.Manual

Step-by-step explanation:

OSHA is an institution that ensures safe working environments throughout the United States. In addition, OSHA establishes safety, first aid and prevention measures and practices for any type of workplace accident.

According to OSHA, in cases of accidents where workers are unconscious or unable to move, the ideal is to minimize or even eliminate manual lifting of the injured worker. This is because manual lifting does not provide stability to the body and may cause injury or worsen the situation.
