The correct answer is

Use of time and labour saving devices

Physiological fatigue in household work comes from the muscular energy spent on tasks, so the surest way to reduce it is to cut down the human energy and time each task demands.

Time and labour saving devices do exactly this: a mixer-grinder replaces hand grinding, a washing machine replaces scrubbing and wringing, a pressure cooker shortens cooking, and a wheeled trolley replaces repeated carrying; the machine takes over the effort, so the homemaker spends less energy and finishes sooner.

Because they lower the total work load, both the sustained holding (static) and the moving (dynamic) parts of a task are reduced, and the time saved can be used for rest, which is why home management treats them as a key means of reducing fatigue.

Dynamic work is the actual productive movement of the task and cannot be eliminated; static work such as standing at a counter or holding a utensil can be reduced but not wholly eliminated from household tasks; alternating static and dynamic work gives tired muscles some recovery and is a useful supporting measure, but it does not reduce the total energy and time the task demands, so it is less effective than cutting the work load itself.

Hence, Use of time and labour saving devices.
