Answer & Explanation +

Answer:

Option A :– A, B, D and E only

Explanation:

Statements A, B, D and E are correct on individual choices, social norms, policy/infrastructure support and community initiatives. Statement C is false because information alone is usually insufficient for sustained change. Statement F is false because education influences long-term attitudes and behaviours. Therefore, the correct combination is A, B, D and E only.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it includes all true statements and excludes C and F, which overstate information sufficiency and deny education’s role.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes C (false).

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it includes C and F (both false).

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes F (false) and omits B, missing social norms/peer influence.
