Solution

The correct option is A The person has low centre of gravity
Center of gravity is the point at which the entire weight of a body may be considered as concentrated so that if supported at this point the body would remain in equilibrium.
One can lean further to one side or other without creating enough turning force to tip him over. This is because the person has low center of gravity as having a low center of gravity decreases the torque hence the person will not tip over.
