The correct answer is c

Explanation:

When a body is in rotational equilibrium, the relationship must be met

∑ τ = 0

Σ F d = 0

therefore the forces that are exerted on the body that are represented in the center of gravity are different from zero, therefore, to maintain balance the distance must be zero, therefore the center of gravity must be above the leg where the body is balancing

The correct answer is c
