Correct Response: D. A forward step with the leg opposite the throwing arm counterbalances the arm movement and provides stability as an underhand throw is executed. As the step is made, the front, rather than the side, of the body should face the desired direction of the throw (C). The ball should be released at or below waist level, not chest level (A), and the throwing arm should follow through, continuing the arc of the throwing motion after releasing the ball (B).
