Correct answer: A — Planned workload limits, protected rest periods and early review during peak reporting

Reasonable adjustments should target foreseeable work factors that have contributed to relapse. Workload planning, rest protection and early review are practical and proportionate where the role can accommodate them. The employer does not need wider diagnostic disclosure to implement functional changes.
