Suggested Answer: D

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.
