In the context of occupational asthma, what does HMW stand for?

Highly Manageable Work
High-Molecular-Weight
Heavy Metal Worker
High-Mobility Workplace

The correct answer is: High-Molecular-Weight

HMW stands for High-Molecular-Weight, which refers to the weight of certain substances that are known to cause occupational asthma. Highly Manageable Work (A) is not a commonly used term in this context and does not relate to the weight of substances. Heavy Metal Worker (C) may sound plausible as some heavy metals can contribute to occupational asthma, but it is not the specific term used to describe the weight of substances. High-Mobility Workplace (D) is also not related to the weight of substances and does not accurately describe the cause of occupational asthma. Therefore, High-Molecular-Weight (B) is the correct answer.
