Explanation:

• For Bruce: Standing with legs straight and knees unlocked is a good postural practice as it allows for proper alignment without unnecessary strain on joints.
• For Demetria: Maintaining a neutral posture (balanced, aligned spine, etc.) in a professional setting like an operating room is a key aspect of good posture to prevent injuries and ensure efficiency.
• For William: Keeping arms relaxed by the side while standing is part of good standing posture, as tensed or misaligned arms can contribute to overall postural issues and discomfort.
• Diane tensing shoulders is bad (causes strain), Raj twisting back while lifting is bad (risk of back injury), Toni leaning over laptop is bad (poor ergonomic and postural practice for the neck/back).

Answer:

A. Bruce stands with his legs straight and his knees unlocked.
D. Demetria maintains a neutral posture in the operating room.
F. William keeps his arms relaxed by his side as he stands in his workstation.
