tobiana, an accomplished young gymnast, has just
learned how to do a cartwheel on the balance beam.
which two senses are especially involved in this
accomplishment?
select one:
a. auditory and visual
b. proprioception and the kinesthetic sense
c. sense of equilibrium and the vestibular sense
d. kinesthetic sense and vestibular sense

Explanation:

• The kinesthetic sense tracks body position/movement, critical for controlling the cartwheel's motions on the beam.
• The vestibular sense (inner-ear based) regulates balance and spatial orientation, essential for staying upright on the narrow balance beam.
• Option a is incorrect: auditory sense is irrelevant here.
• Option b is incorrect: proprioception is closely linked to kinesthesia, but the key balance sense (vestibular) is missing.
• Option c is incorrect: the sense of equilibrium is the function of the vestibular sense, so this is redundant and omits the necessary kinesthetic sense for movement control.

Answer:

d. kinesthetic sense and vestibular sense
