Use of the removable arm
Increase the seat width
Changing the cross breaches
A and C
A and B

Explanation

Answer: D - Use of the removable arm and changing the cross breaches are the methods to widen the wheelchair seat.

Widening the seat width is not a choice. Widening will increase the overall width of the chair. Therefore, to propel the wheelchair, the patient has to increase the abduction of the shoulders. This wider abduction uses the muscle strength for stability and posture but uses less for functional push.
