The type of hazard Mary is most likely to encounter is Static Posture (Option D)

Explanation: In office-based jobs, people spend around 6 to 7 hours sitting in the same posture while they are working on their laptops/desktops etc. Office based job requires less muscular efforts, and as a result, it causes blood flow to decrease, which is being supplied to the legs, and causes them to be stiff and numb.
