Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The feet are the body’s base of support. This means they are the foundation that supports you when you stand. The wider the base of support, the more stable it is. So a person who is standing with legs apart has a greater base of support, and is more stable, that someone standing with the feet close together.
