Ans: A
Feedback:
Motor vehicles continue to be the major cause of deaths related to unintentional injuries for all age groups up to 80 years. Suicide is not the leading cause of death in adolescents and adults. Safety practices can reduce, but not completely eliminate, workplace risks. Lead exposure is significant but is not a primary cause of death.
