Explanation
Backstroke is the swimming stroke that must start with two hands and two feet touching the wall.

A. Touch, guide or direct the athlete but may not support or assist the athlete’s forward movement

Explanation
In assisted swim events, an in-the-pool assistant is allowed to touch, guide, or direct the athlete but may not support or assist the athlete's forward movement. This means that the assistant can provide guidance and direction to the athlete, but they cannot physically help the athlete move forward in the water. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that the athlete is primarily responsible for their own movement and to maintain fairness in the competition.
