Solution

The correct option is C Push followed by the pull
Force can be described as a push or pull. A pull changes the direction of an object towards you. On the other hand, if the object moves away, it is a push.

First, she has to push the handle, i.e., move the handle away from her.

Then, she has to pull the handle, i.e., move the handle towards her.
