Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct because each health issue has its own unique set of risk and protective factors.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect because biological sex and gender can influence but are not the primary determinant of all risk and protective factors.
  • C is incorrect because socioeconomic status, while important, is not the primary determinant.
  • D is incorrect because while cultural background can influence health behaviours and outcomes, it is not the primary determinant.
