Answer option D is correct.
Generally, injuries are not work-related if the employee is engaged in a voluntary wellness activity (C), eating food prepared for personal consumption (A), or has the common cold/flu (B). This is important for two reasons: to determine OSHA recordability and to determine compensability under workers' compensation.

I'm a little confused by this question. The options don't seem super clear to me. I'll have to re-read it a few times and see if I can figure out the right approach. Hopefully I can narrow it down through the process of elimination.

Okay, I think I've got this. Geographic pay seems like the best answer here - it's the option that specifically mentions paying employees based on the local labor market for their location. I'm confident that's the right choice.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know transport-layer security is important for protecting messages, but I'm not confident I fully understand how an active intermediary could compromise it. I'll have to think this through carefully.
