Correct answer: C. Health cost safety measures and alternatives

Livelihood means more than receiving money in the present. If a job repeatedly harms health, its medical expenses, lost working days, reduced ability to work and long-term effects must be included in the analysis. One should also examine protective equipment, safer working methods, legal or workplace safeguards and possible alternative occupations. A job that gives immediate income but steadily damages health may not provide secure or sustainable livelihood.

Option C is correct because it considers health costs, safety measures and alternatives together. Option B is incomplete: immediate income alone hides the real cost of illness. Option A treats the name of work as sufficient, although the same occupation may be safe in one setting and dangerous in another. Option D is irrelevant. A balanced livelihood assessment must ask whether work can support a person safely over time, not merely whether it pays today.

Correct answer: A. Ethical and consumer safety problem

Correct answer: A. Fairness and motivation may weaken

The direct answer is A: favouritism in promotion can weaken fairness and motivation. In a healthy career environment, advancement should be based on relevant performance, ability, effort, experience, and clearly known rules. If promotion depends only on personal favour, capable workers may feel that hard work does not matter. Trust can fall, resentment can grow, and people may lose the desire to improve. Option A is correct because it describes these likely effects. Option B is wrong because employees who are treated unfairly are not all likely to be satisfied. Option C is wrong because skills do not automatically increase when selection is biased. Option D is wrong because favouritism can weaken, rather than strengthen, work ethics and trust. Memory cue: fair promotion builds motivation; favouritism breaks trust.
