Answer:d. All of these answers are correct.

Explanation:

-Visual aids mostly make your speech stronger as people can view what you are talking about.

-However you should be careful that they do not take over your presentation, it is very likely that you may feel inclined to look away from the audience and focus on the visual that you are explaining.

-This is not a good idea, if you are delivering a speech you want to maintain eye contact to keep audience focused on what you are delivering otherwise you may lose their attention.

-You need to occasionally or periodically look at your visuals whilst maintaining eye contact during most of your time.

-You also need to display visuals only when you are discussing them otherwise audience will focus on the visuals and not on what you are discussing at that particular moment.

-Giving visuals to the audience will also take their attention away from your speech and make them focus on visuals, they may even start discussing those visuals amongst each other.

-If you want them to take some information home from your speech, you will need to give them hardcopies of your speech at the end of your presentation
