Answer:

d. Pushing test

Step-by-step explanation:

An individual who is sedentary is always seated (usually in a wheelchair) and needs to keep his/her upper-body strength up. Therefore a pushing test would be the most appropriate movement assessment. This is in order to assess the physical capabilities of the individuals upper body so that they can take care of themselves and move around correctly.
