please select the best answer from the choices provided.
○ a
○ b
○ c

Explanation:

Darell learned proper form, followed a planned starter program with warm-up/stretching, so overtraining, poor form, and bad planning are not likely. The gym equipment was unused for years, making safety issues from uninspected equipment the most probable cause.

Answer:

D. Darell most likely did not check the gym equipment for safety issues before he used it.
