Correct answer: D — Modify loading height and restrict repeated overhead lifting during rehabilitation

The adjustment should target the aggravating task rather than remove the worker from the whole role. Waist-height loading and temporary restriction of repeated overhead lifting are practical and reviewable. This supports recovery while maintaining productive duties.
