Which category includes 'Indoor Cane Skills' as a concept?

In O&M practice, skills are organized by the environment in which they’re used. Indoor Cane Skills specifically covers using the long cane inside buildings—detecting obstacles, locating doors and walls, navigating around furniture, and negotiating thresholds and stairs. Because the question asks which category includes Indoor Cane Skills as a concept, the category that directly names this area is the best fit. The other options describe different settings—public transportation, special areas like campuses or airports, and urban or business travel—so they don’t center on indoor cane techniques.
