The two correct answers that involve risks common to both underground mining and surface mining are:

  1. Ground instability
  2. Respiratory disease

These risks can be present in both types of mining. Ground instability can occur due to the removal of earth materials, leading to potential collapses or landslides. Respiratory diseases can arise from exposure to dust and other harmful particles in the air, which can occur in both underground and surface mining environments.
