• D. Occupational Therapy

Answer: (A)

Ergonomics is the science of adjusting environments, tasks, or procedures to fit you, the worker. It focuses on designing the workspace, tools, and workflows so they align with human sizes, strengths, and limitations. By setting chair heights, monitor angles, tool grips, and task sequences to match how people naturally move and compensate, you reduce awkward postures, excessive reaching, and repetitive strain. This leads to less fatigue, fewer injuries, and better efficiency because the work environment supports comfortable, sustainable performance.

Kinesiology studies how the body moves and what drives movement. Biomechanics applies physical forces to those movements, analyzing motion and loads. Occupational therapy helps people recover or adapt to perform daily activities, including return-to-work strategies after an injury. Each concept relates to the body and work, but ergonomics is the one that focuses on shaping the workspace to fit the worker.
