  Sit loose, like you would at the movie theater
- C.

Correct Answer
A. Push your hips as far back as they can go in the chair.

Explanation
The correct sitting position while typing is to push your hips as far back as they can go in the chair. This position helps maintain proper alignment of the spine and reduces strain on the lower back. Sitting loose like at the movie theater or sitting too close to the computer can lead to poor posture and increased risk of musculoskeletal issues.

- E.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
E. All of the above

Explanation
The correct answer is "All of the above". This means that all of the characteristics mentioned in the options are necessary for a proper sitting position while typing. Pushing the hips back in the chair helps maintain a straight back and proper posture. Sitting close to the keyboard and positioning it directly in front of the body ensures that the arms are not overextended or strained. Adjusting the keyboard height and keeping the shoulders relaxed, elbows slightly open, and wrists and hands straight helps prevent strain and discomfort. Sitting at an arm's length away from the screen and adjusting the distance for vision helps reduce eye strain.
