WMSDs, or work-related musculoskeletal disorders, typically affect areas that are involved in repetitive motions or prolonged standing. These areas include the neck, upper extremities (arms), and low back. Feet and ankles may be affected if there is prolonged standing or walking involved in the work, but they are not as commonly affected as the options provided suggest. The chest and abdominal regions are not generally affected by WMSDs, as they are not involved in the types of movements and actions that can lead to these types of disorders. Lastly, while the lower back may be affected by WMSDs in certain situations, it is not the only body area commonly affected, making option D incorrect.
