\(B\)

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct. Driving lessons build practical, job-ready skills that support employment (SDG 4). Helping young people get licensed legally also reduces the over-representation of Aboriginal youth in the justice system for driving offences, which addresses unequal outcomes (SDG 10).

Other options:

  • A is incorrect – The SDGs are reversed. Building skills belongs to SDG 4, and reducing inequities in imprisonment belongs to SDG 10.
  • C is incorrect – Reducing inequities in imprisonment is a reduced inequalities outcome (SDG 10), not a sustainable cities outcome (SDG 11).
  • D is incorrect – Building job-ready skills is an education outcome (SDG 4), not a health outcome (SDG 3).
