\(D\)

Show Worked Solution
  • D is correct. The scenario shows AI being used to quickly allocate medicines where they are needed, ensuring faster access to treatment.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect. This refers to public health surveillance, whereas the scenario focuses on medication access.
  • B is incorrect. Personalised care involves tailoring treatment to an individual’s genetics, not population supply.
  • C is incorrect. Forecasting hospital demand is related but broader; the scenario highlights the immediate delivery of medicines.
