Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Ergonomics is defined as the field of engineering science devoted to promoting comfort, performance, and health in the workplace. The principles are certainly consistent with the other health goals that are listed, but the primary focus is on the workplace.

Answer to Question 2

A
