b.Balanced on the shoring

Giải thích
Cal/OSHA requires spoil piles and other loads to be kept back at least 2 feet from the trench edge so their weight does not surcharge the trench wall and trigger a collapse. Option d is correct. Placing spoil at the edge (a) adds dangerous load, resting it on the shoring (b) overloads the system, and putting it in the trench (c) endangers the workers directly.
