D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If you’ve suffered a traumatic injury to your C6 cervical spinal cord, the best thing that you can do is seek treatment as early as possible. Once you’re able to do so, begin engaging in physical therapy, activity-based therapy, and exercises to keep your body moving.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pressure relief is moving or lifting yourself to take the pressure off areas that have been under pressure, usually from sitting or lying in one position, so blood can circulate. When sitting in your wheelchair you should do pressure reliefs every 15 to 30 minutes for a duration of at least 30 to 90 seconds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Move your wheelchair so that the front casters are turned forward, then lock the wheels of your wheelchair. Bend forward and bring your chest to your knees (Figure 6). This lifts the weight of your bottom from the wheelchair. Stay in this position for 30-90 seconds.
