Answer:

B. Compression

Step-by-step explanation:

Backpack cause strain in one's neck, back and shoulders especially when it is loaded with load, the weight's force pull backward. In order to compensate for the force we bend forward at the hips or arch our back and this causes the spine to compress unnaturally.
