Which position would be the best for good body mechanics when lifting an object?
  1. Assume a position that is not too close to the object in order to increase the torque
  2. Widen the base of support by raising the center of gravity as high as possible
  3. Reduce torque and energy requirement by positioning your center of gravity further away from that of the lifted object
  4. Use the power position and avoid twisting, while positioning feet in the direction of movement
Explanation
Answer: D - The best position for good body mechanics when lifting an object is to use the power position and avoid twisting, while positioning feet in the direction of movement. This offers decreased torque and energy requirements and a large base of support for stability.
