Best answer

(b), (c), and (d)

Legs hold the entire mass of a body in standing position due to gravitational pull. In space, an astronaut feels weightlessness because of the absence of gravity. Therefore, swollen feet of an astronaut do not affect him/her in space.

A swollen face is caused generally because of apparent weightlessness in space. Sense organs such as eyes, ears nose, and mouth constitute a person’s face. This symptom can affect an astronaut in space.

Headaches are caused because of mental strain. It can affect the working of an astronaut in space.

Space has different orientations. Therefore, orientational problem can affect an astronaut in space.
