B)Somatosensation.
C)Vestibular function.
D)Vision.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Condition 5 (standing on foam with eyes closed) primarily involves the vestibular system, as visual input is eliminated and the individual must rely on proprioceptive and vestibular inputs to maintain balance. Condition 6 (standing on foam wearing a dome) additionally challenges the individual's visual and somatosensory inputs, but vestibular function remains a critical component. Therefore, individuals who become unstable or fall in these conditions most likely have deficits in vestibular function.
