Explanation:

When spotting an overhead press, the proper spotting technique is to place hands outside the lifter's hands and maintain a straight - back stance to provide support if needed without interfering with the lifter's movement. Option A leaves the lifter without proper support if something goes wrong. Option B is incorrect as hands should be outside the lifter's hands rather than just beneath the bar. Option C is not the correct positioning for an overhead - press spotter.

Answer:

D. place his or her hands outside the lifter's hands and stand with a straight back
