Which health problem is mentioned as frequently being work-related?

Diabetes
Back pain
Common cold
Hypertension

The correct answer is: Back pain

Back pain is often mentioned as a work-related health problem because many jobs involve long hours of sitting or standing in the same position, repetitive movements, or heavy lifting, all of which can put strain on the back muscles and spine. This can lead to back pain or other musculoskeletal issues. Diabetes, hypertension, and the common cold may also be work-related in certain cases, but they are not as frequently mentioned as back pain.
