Kris and James are working at a construction site that has a significant amount of stagnant water. Which type of hazard are they most likely to be exposed to?

Select the best option.

Ergonomic

Physical

Biological

Chemical

The correct answer is C. Biological

Explanation:

A biological hazard refers to a biological substance such as viruses, insects, fungus, etc. that can affect humans or other animals' health negatively. In the case of Kris and James, they are exposed to a biological hazard because stagnant water is commonly used by mosquitos to place eggs, this leads to a lot of mosquitos around stagnant waters and therefore a higher risk of mosquito-transmitted diseases such as malaria. Besides this, stagnant water is highly polluted and includes bacteria and parasites that are harmful.

The answer is most likely Biological because insects and other organisms thrive in stagnant water.
