\( A\)

Show Worked Solution
  • A is correct because the physical injury (broken arm) directly affects their physical health, and being unable to attend soccer training and spend time with friends directly impacts her social health.

Other options:

  • B is incorrect because there’s no indication that their spiritual health (sense of purpose or meaning) is directly affected.
  • C is incorrect because while their mental and emotional health might be indirectly affected, the scenario directly describes impacts on physical and social dimensions.
  • D is incorrect because while social health is affected, emotional health is not directly mentioned as being impacted.
