Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Using an electric razor is the safest option for shaving a client as it reduces the risk of cuts or nicks. The other options are incorrect as pulling skin taut can cause discomfort or injury, the client can be positioned in any comfortable position, and using long strokes in one direction can cause skin irritation.
