Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Risk factor categories found to be associated with overall health include childhood and maternal undernutrition; other nutrition-related risk factors and inactivity; additive substances; sexual and reproductive health; and environmental risks (such as air pollution). Allergy, traumatic injury, and Down syndrome are not risk factors for overall health.
