failed

The answer is the third one: Using non-latex gloves to handle the balloons.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Avoiding the experiment entirely: This is a very cautious approach but not necessarily required if proper precautions are taken. It is not specifically recommended unless the allergy is extremely severe and cannot be managed by other means.

  2. Not being present when latex balloons are being "stretched" and deflated: This is a good precaution to minimize exposure to latex particles, but it is not the most direct method to handle the situation if the individual needs to participate in the experiment.

  3. Using non-latex gloves to handle the balloons: This is the most specific and practical recommendation for individuals with a known latex allergy. It allows them to participate in the experiment while avoiding direct contact with latex.

  4. Wearing goggles to protect against liquid splashes: This is a general safety precaution for experiments involving liquids but does not address the specific issue of latex allergy.

Summary: The most appropriate safety precaution for individuals with a known allergy to latex during this experiment is to use non-latex gloves to handle the balloons. This allows them to avoid direct contact with latex while still participating in the experiment.
