What percentage of all occupational illnesses did skin diseases account for, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics?

  1. 10% to 20%

  2. 20% to 30%

  3. 30% to 45%

  4. 45% to 60%

The correct answer is: 30% to 45%

Based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, skin diseases accounted for approximately 30% to 45% of all occupational illnesses. This suggests that while skin diseases are a significant issue in the workplace, they do not account for the majority of occupational illnesses. Options A and B are too low and do not accurately reflect the data, while option D is too high. Option C falls within the range of the correct answer and is therefore the best choice.
