The answer would be option C. The elderly female with arthritis would benefit from the movement of the head and neck. Arthritis is mostly in the hands, knees, wrist, etc. The middle aged man is unconscious so you can almost immediately rule this opinion out, the movement of the head is not going to help him. Therefore your only logical answer would be C. Hope this helps you.
