A study found that employees who regularly use ergonomic office equipment reported 30% fewer instances of work-related musculoskeletal pain than those who did not. All employees in the study performed similar tasks for similar durations. Which of the following can be most properly inferred from the information above?

A Ergonomic office equipment completely eliminates work-related musculoskeletal pain.
B Using ergonomic office equipment is one factor that can reduce work-related musculoskeletal pain.
C Employees who do not use ergonomic equipment will inevitably experience musculoskeletal pain.
D The study proves that musculoskeletal pain is solely caused by non-ergonomic equipment.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

The study shows a correlation between ergonomic equipment and reduced pain. This suggests it's a contributing factor, but does not claim it eliminates pain, is the sole cause, or guarantees pain without it.
