A person sits on a freely spinning lab stool that has no friction in its axle. When this person extends her arms,

• her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed decreases.
• her moment of inertia decreases and her angular speed increases.
• her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed increases.
• her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed remains the same.
