The sentence that BEST shows rather than tells is:
b. I felt my foot slide on the icy step; then I was tumbling down, smacking the edge of each step painfully with a knee, an elbow, or my head.
This option uses descriptive language to illustrate the experience of falling, allowing the reader to visualize and feel the action rather than simply stating that an event occurred.
