The question

Excellent answer: around CLB 11–12

Establishing boundaries for digital communication (Option A) is essential to prevent burnout. While continuous training improves productivity, it cannot compensate for the mental strain caused by constant connectivity. Limiting after-hours messages respects personal time and boosts long-term well-being.
