C. You would lose your balance and trip.

Starting a treadmill workout at the highest speed setting while placing your feet on the belt is extremely dangerous and likely to cause you to lose your balance, which could result in falling or injury. It's always best to start at a low speed and gradually increase the pace as your body adapts.
