Answer to Question 1

D
Staff who work in isolated, poorly lit areas are at higher risk of violence, which would describe Donna's work conditions. In addition, if the business office contains money, this could make it a desirable target for criminals. While Becky and Sarah work in high-risk areas (mental health and the emergency room), the nearby presence of colleagues, the availability of alarms, and good lighting help to reduce the risk.
