D) ballistic stretching

Answer 1

The movement of the arms from side to side is a active static stretching exercise that needs to be done during or immediately after warming up.

This exercise is done for gaining fitness of the body and used in the Yoga and martial arts sessions.

The muscles of the arms are fully stretched, while the muscles of the entire upper body are stretched as well.

Hence, the option A is the right answer for this question. 

Answer 2

The answer is B) dynamic stretching

The mean of dynamic stretching is taking a limb (shoulder, leg, hip, etc.) and moving it back and forth or side to side 8 to 15 times using gradual and controlled movement. Do it during the warm-up, but only after completing a low-intensity activity.
