Ans: A, B, C

Motivation is enhanced when clients view themselves as susceptible to the disease in question; when clients view the disease as a serious threat; when clients believe there are actions they can take to reduce the probability of contracting the disease; when clients believe the threat of taking these actions is not as great as the disease itself.
