B) In the book "The last Lecture" by Randy Pausch, Pausch shows the audience a video of his zero gravity experience to show what being in zero gravity looks like.

Randy didn't want to be an astronaut as he knew from a very young age that he could not be one because he wore glasses. However, he wanted to experience the floating, the zero gravity experience. When he got older, he found a way to experience zero-gravity when he learned about a stationary NASA plane that was used to accustom astronauts to the zero gravity experience. He showed the video to prove to the audience that they should never give up on their dreams.
