Her teacher tells her that to avoid motion sickness, she should C. try to focus on some distant point.
Explanation:
Motion sickness occurs when the <em>fluid inside an individual's inner ear is moving.</em> This part controls one's equilibrium and once it has gotten used to the movement, the symptoms will decrease.
One way of preventing motion sickness is to focus on a distant point, on something steady since focusing on something with movement may increase the sickness.
In this case, Natasha's best option is to focus on a distant point since she is doing high-speed spins so her arms need to be in a specific way to maintain her equilibrium, meaning she cannot use them freely.
