ANS: D
Agricultural machinery is the most common cause of fatalities and nonfatal injuries of U.S. agricultural workers, including on-farm fatalities among youth under 20 years of age (CDC, NIOSH Program, 2012). Tractor-related accidents, especially rollovers, are the most frequent causes of farm accidents and account for more than one fourth of farm fatalities.
