Why can mental health in work be connected with livelihood security?

Correct answer: Because stress and insecurity can affect work capacity income and continuity

The direct answer is option A: stress and insecurity can affect work capacity, income and continuity. Mental health means a person’s emotional and psychological well-being, including the ability to think, cope and work. Reasoning step by step: severe stress may reduce concentration, energy and decision-making; reduced work capacity can lower performance or cause absence; lower performance or loss of work can reduce income; reduced income can make livelihood insecure; therefore mental health and livelihood security are connected. Option A is correct because healthy mental functioning supports regular, effective work, while serious stress or insecurity can interrupt both work and earnings. Option B is wrong because mental health influences concentration, relationships, attendance and performance. Option C is wrong because stress does not always increase productivity; prolonged stress usually harms health and effectiveness. Option D is wrong because income can affect access to food, treatment, rest and other conditions connected with health.
