\(B\)

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct: Wider base of support increases stability and prevents falling during squats.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Fluid mechanics applies to movement through water/air, not squatting
  • C is incorrect: No projectile motion occurs in stationary squats
  • D is incorrect: Angular momentum is not the primary safety principle in squatting
