选项 A、constructed
B、correlated
C、collaborated
D、coordinated

答案B

解析 语义衔接题。only that引导条件状语从句,only that之前的句子指出不能确定有害的工作环境是否会导致死亡,但第二、三段有数据表明,二者之间有联系,故判断only that之后表达糟糕的工作环境与死亡风险有关。correlate意为“相互关联”,be correlated with表示“与……有关”,填入空缺处能使语义通顺,故答案为B项。construct意为“建造,修建”;collaborate意“合作”;coordinate意为“调节,配合”。
