Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option based on proper lifting techniques:

• "Bend at your waist and lift with your back" is incorrect as it can cause back injuries.
• "Keep your feet close together" is incorrect; feet should be shoulder - width apart for stability.
• "Keep your head up and back straight" is a correct lifting technique as it helps maintain proper posture and reduces the risk of injury.
• "Twist your back to turn" is incorrect as twisting the back while lifting can lead to back problems.

C. Keep your head up and back straight (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with "Keep your head up and back straight" as option C)
