select all that apply
□ physical
□ pregnancy
□ intellectual or developmental
□ pregnancy
□ sensory
□ minor surgery
□ behavioral / mental
□ injury

Explanation:

To determine common disability categories, we analyze each option:

• Physical: Physical disabilities affect mobility/body functions (e.g., limb impairment), so it’s a valid category.
• Pregnancy: Pregnancy is not a disability (it’s a temporary physiological state), so it’s excluded.
• Intellectual or Developmental: Covers conditions like autism, Down syndrome, so it’s a disability category.
• Pregnancy (duplicate, still not a disability).
• Sensory: Includes visual/hearing impairments, valid.
• Minor Surgery: A temporary medical procedure, not a disability.
• Behavioral / Mental: Includes mental health conditions, valid.
• Injury: If temporary, not a disability; but chronic injuries can be, but generally, common disability categories include Physical, Intellectual or Developmental, Sensory, Behavioral / Mental. Wait, maybe the question’s context: common disability categories (from disability classification) are Physical, Sensory, Intellectual or Developmental, Behavioral/Mental, and Injury (if chronic). Pregnancy and Minor Surgery are not. So the valid ones are Physical, Intellectual or Developmental, Sensory, Behavioral / Mental, Injury? Wait, no—let’s recall: Disability categories are often Physical (e.g., mobility), Sensory (vision, hearing), Intellectual/Developmental (learning, cognitive), Behavioral/Mental (mental health, emotional), and sometimes Injury (if it causes long - term impairment). Pregnancy is not a disability, Minor Surgery is a procedure. So the correct options are Physical, Intellectual or Developmental, Sensory, Behavioral / Mental, Injury? Wait, but let's check standard disability categories:

Standard disability categories (e.g., in educational or medical contexts) include:

• Physical: Impairments affecting the body (e.g., spinal cord injury, amputation).
• Sensory: Visual, auditory, or other sensory impairments.
• Intellectual or Developmental: Conditions like intellectual disability, autism, ADHD.
• Behavioral / Mental: Mental health disorders, emotional disturbances.
• Injury: If the injury results in a long - term disability (e.g., traumatic brain injury).

Pregnancy is a normal physiological state, not a disability. Minor Surgery is a medical procedure, not a disability.

So the correct options are:

Physical,

Intellectual or Developmental,

Sensory,

Behavioral / Mental,

Injury.

Wait, but maybe the question’s options have a typo (duplicate Pregnancy). So the applicable ones are Physical, Intellectual or Developmental, Sensory, Behavioral / Mental, Injury.

Answer:

A. Physical, C. Sensory, D. Intellectual or Developmental, G. Behavioral / Mental, I. Injury
