Which option ensures clothing is safe to prevent snagging during transfer?

Explanation:
Preventing snagging during transfers by choosing safe clothing. Clothing that fits well—snug and non-restrictive—lets you move freely without excess fabric that can catch on bed rails, chair edges, or transfer equipment. Tucking in any loose fabric reduces snag risk, and securing lines or devices (such as tubing, cords, or gait belts) prevents them from snagging during movement. Loose fabric, long robes, or tight, restrictive clothing can increase snag hazards and hinder safe transfer, so they are not ideal choices.
