The answer is the first one: Balance Loss, Eyes (loss of vision), Face Drooping, Arm Weakness, Speech Difficulty, Time.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Balance Loss, Eyes (loss of vision), Face Drooping, Arm Weakness, Speech Difficulty, Time: This is the correct expansion of the acronym BEFAST. It is used to help recognize the signs of a stroke quickly.

  2. Balance Loss, Eyes (loss of vision), Feet Numbness, Arm Weakness, Speech Difficulty, Think: This option is incorrect because "Feet Numbness" and "Think" are not part of the BEFAST acronym.
