    Correct Answer
    A. Flat edge
    Explanation
    Skaters are preferred to glide on one edge of the blade and not on both at the same time. This is referred to as a "flat edge." This technique allows for better control and stability while performing various skating maneuvers. It also helps in maintaining balance and precision during jumps and spins. By using a flat edge, skaters can execute their moves with more grace and accuracy, which is why judges prefer this technique.
