Ans: A, B, C, E
Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete
physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of
disease and infirmity.” Engaging in book reviews facilitates mental and
social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate physical well-being;
and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating
physical well-being even though the person has a chronic disease.
Handwashing is vital in the prevention of disease and spread of germs.

example. Of the following aspects discussed, which would be
considered a determinant of health that is outside the focus of this
