Explanation

CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors contain significant quantities of lead (up to 4–8 lbs per unit) and other toxic materials such as cadmium and phosphor compounds. Because of this, they are classified as hazardous e-waste and are subject to strict environmental disposal regulations (such as EPA rules and state-level e-waste laws). Improper disposal can result in heavy fines and environmental harm. While proper lifting technique (A) is a workplace safety concern, the question specifically asks about environmental safety, making disposal regulations the most appropriate answer.
