Show Worked Solution

B is correct as creating supportive environments involves making changes to physical and social environments that promote health.

Other options:

A is incorrect because building healthy public policy primarily relates to legislation.
C is incorrect as strengthening community action focuses on empowering communities to set their own priorities and make decisions.
D is incorrect since developing personal skills concentrates on education and life skills development rather than environmental changes.
