Explanation:

This is a medical exemption form. Checking a box on such a form indicates a restriction. Option A aligns with the meaning of a restriction (cannot do a certain task at work). Option B is too extreme (not just any weight but specifically over 25 lbs). Option C is about home (form is about work restrictions). Option D is about refusal (form is about medical - inability, not refusal).

Answer:

A. the employee cannot lift objects greater than 25 lbs at work
