\(A\)

Show Worked Solution
  • A is correct because all three core government advocacy responsibilities are demonstrated: setting policies (legislation for venues), allocating funding ($50 million for mental health), and implementing programs (mandatory reporting systems).

Other options:

  • B is incorrect because these are Ottawa Charter action areas, not specific government advocacy responsibilities.
  • C is incorrect because while partnerships may exist, the question demonstrates direct government action rather than community partnership building.
  • D is incorrect because governments don’t typically provide direct healthcare services or individual counselling – these are usually delivered by health professionals or NGOs.
