B. The astronaut can release air from the device in all directions around her in the hopes that she will move towards the spaceship.
C. The astronaut can release air from the device in a direction that points towards the spaceship.
D.The astronaut can release air from the device in a direction that points away from the spaceship.
C. The astronaut can release air from the device in a direction that points towards the spaceship.
By releasing jets of air in a direction that points towards the spaceship, the astronaut can exert a force on herself in the opposite direction, according to Newton's third law of motion (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction). This force can propel her towards the spaceship and help her get back to it.
