Solution

The correct option is A Bending your legs rather than your back.
When lifting heavyweights one should move through the full range of motion in one's joint. Proper posture is crucial in order to get better results and to avoid any chance of getting hurt. Always breathe out as you lift the weight and breathe in as you lower the weight. Always bend your legs rather than your back. The back should always be straight when one lifts the weight.
