Show answer and explanation
Answer: 4
Why 4 is correct
IADL (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living) means the actions needed for daily life, such as shopping, cooking, and managing money. Like ADL, it looks at what a person can physically do, so it is included under physical factors. So answer 4 is correct.
Why 1 is wrong
Personality is included under psychological factors, not physical factors.
Why 2 is wrong
Living environment means physical surroundings such as the size of the home or steps in the floor. It is included under environmental factors, not physical factors.
Why 3 is wrong
Environment of people around them means relationships with people such as family and staff. It is included under environmental factors, not physical factors.
Why 5 is wrong
Connection with society means relationships with the local community and friends. It is included under social factors, not physical factors.

IADL (手段的日常生活動作) covers shopping, cooking and money management, and counts as a physical factor like ADL.
