Answer: A
Merleau-Ponty does not regard the lived body as a physical object.
In the Phenomenology of Perception, the lived body is not an object among objects that I observe from outside. It is the subject of perception, the zero point from which space is oriented, and the place where reflection is incarnate. His example of one hand touching the other, which can switch between touching and being touched, shows its reflexive character.
So zero point, reflexive touch and incarnate reflection are all ways he describes the lived body. Treating it as a mere physical object is the view he argues against.
