    • 10 kg

    • 8 kg

    • 6 kg

    • 14 kg

    Correct Answer
    A. 14 kg
    Explanation
    Backpacks equipped solely with shoulder straps can affect a person's posture because they place all the weight on the shoulders and upper back. Carrying a heavy load, such as 14 kg, can cause the shoulders to round forward and the upper back to hunch, leading to poor posture. This can result in discomfort, muscle strain, and potential long-term spinal issues. Therefore, carrying more than 14 kg with such backpacks can significantly impact a person's posture.
