  1. The study of social media technologies

  2. Balancing social, technical, and environmental interactions within an organization

  3. Technical skills development in social contexts

  4. The technical aspects of socio-political systems

The correct answer is: Balancing social, technical, and environmental interactions within an organization

The sociotechnical approach is concerned with balancing and optimizing the interactions between social, technical, and environmental factors within an organization. This approach recognizes that an organization is made up of both technological and social systems, and that the success of an organization depends on finding a harmonious balance between these two systems. Option A is incorrect as the sociotechnical approach is not solely focused on social media technologies, but rather the broader concept of social and technical systems. Option C is incorrect as the sociotechnical approach is not solely focused on technical skills development, but rather the complex interactions between social and technical systems. Option D is incorrect as it is not focused on the sociotechnical approach, but rather on the technical aspects of socio-political systems.
