\(D\)

Show Worked Solution

D is correct because the government is allocating funding (establishing the mobile clinic program) and implementing targeted programs (culturally appropriate care for young people in remote areas).

Other options:

A is incorrect because while partnerships exist, the primary focus is on funding allocation and program implementation rather than policy setting.
B is incorrect because these are Ottawa Charter action areas rather than the government’s specific advocacy roles.
C is incorrect because these are also Ottawa Charter action areas, not specific government advocacy responsibilities as outlined in the syllabus.
