What effect can ignoring health have on livelihood?

Correct answer: Work ability may decrease

The direct answer is option A: work ability may decrease. Health is an important part of livelihood because a person needs physical energy, mental balance and regular attendance to work effectively. Step by step, if health is ignored, illness or exhaustion may occur; illness can reduce concentration, strength and attendance; reduced ability can lower productivity and may reduce income or job stability. Option A correctly describes this possible effect. Option B, “income will always increase,” is wrong because poor health usually creates medical costs, absence and lower productivity; the word “always” also makes the statement unrealistic. Option C, “stress will always end,” is wrong because neglecting health can increase stress rather than remove it. Option D, “skills will increase automatically,” is wrong because skills grow through learning, practice and feedback, not merely by ignoring health. Good health supports a sustainable livelihood, although health alone does not guarantee success. The exam lesson is to connect health with capacity, regular work, safety and long-term earning ability. A simple memory cue is: healthy worker, steady capacity; neglected health, reduced capacity.
