What workplace issue is directly related to obesity, lack of leisure exercise, and low back pain due to its time dimension?

  1. Workplace safety

  2. Commute time

  3. Shift work

  4. Employee turnover rate

The correct answer is: Commute time

An explanation of why the other options are incorrect - Workplace safety focuses on physical hazards and injuries in the workplace, and while obesity and low back pain can be workplace safety concerns, it is not directly related to these issues on a time dimension. - Shift work may contribute to lack of leisure exercise and fatigue, but it is not specifically related to obesity and low back pain on a time dimension. - Employee turnover rate may be affected by work-related stressors, but it is not specifically related to obesity, lack of leisure exercise, and low back pain on a time dimension.
