Answer 1

The correct answer is option b, that is, repetitive stress injuries.

The repetitive stress injuries are developed by imparting an excess amount of stress on one particular part of the body on a continuous basis. The stress develops swelling on that particular part of the body along with tissue damage and muscle strain in certain situations. This generally occurs in the individuals who are forced to hold one same movement or position for a longer time duration.
