This is because when software is difficult to use or doesn't function properly, it can lead to feelings of frustration, anxiety, and overwhelm. Users may become stressed trying to navigate through confusing interfaces, deal with constant glitches, or meet deadlines while struggling with inefficient software. This stress can have negative effects on mental and physical health, affecting overall well-being and productivity.

    • Leaning forward towards the computer screen.

    • Not using any foot support.

    • Falling out of the chair.

    Correct Answer
    A. Slouching in the chair.
    Explanation
    Slouching in the chair can cause backache when sitting at a computer because it puts strain on the muscles and ligaments in the back. Slouching can lead to poor posture, which can result in increased pressure on the spinal discs and vertebrae. This can cause discomfort and pain in the back, particularly in the lower back. It is important to maintain proper posture while sitting at a computer to prevent backache and other related issues.

    ELF stands for Extra Low Frequency in terms of health and safety risks associated with ICT. Extra Low Frequency radiation refers to electromagnetic radiation with frequencies ranging from 3 Hz to 300 Hz. This type of radiation is considered to have potential health risks, as it can penetrate the human body and affect biological processes. Exposure to ELF radiation from ICT devices such as power lines, electrical appliances, and computer screens has been linked to various health issues, including cancer, neurological disorders, and reproductive problems. Therefore, understanding and managing the risks associated with ELF radiation is crucial in ensuring the safety of individuals using ICT devices.
