  • A is correct because resource access shapes awareness of health options while cultural beliefs fundamentally determine how health is understood within different communities.

Other options:

  • B is incorrect because genetic predispositions don’t systematically influence how different socioeconomic groups conceptualise health.
  • C is incorrect because social media has less fundamental impact than resource access on how different groups define health priorities.
  • D is incorrect because neither genetics nor social media are primary determinants of socioeconomic differences in health definitions.
