\(B\)

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct as the WHO Framework provided evidence-based strategies and minimum standards. Australia has not only implemented but expanded upon these measures.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect because the Framework sets minimum standards but allows countries to implement stronger measures.
  • C is incorrect as no global organisation can mandate specific budget allocations to a sovereign nation like Australia.
  • D is incorrect because the Framework enhances national responsibility for tobacco control rather than transferring it to WHO oversight.
