The statement that best describes trends in safety in underground and surface mining in the United States is:
Injury rates for both underground and surface mining have decreased over the past four decades.
This accurately reflects the general trend observed in mining safety, where both types of mining have seen improvements in safety measures leading to decreased injury rates over an extended period.
