Environmental health and WASH – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, D and F are correct as they highlight safe water, sanitation, solid waste management and vulnerability of age groups. Statement C is wrong because handwashing with soap is highly effective in interrupting disease transmission. Statement E is also wrong, since environmental health includes both biological and chemical risks. Therefore, the combination A, B, D and F only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes C, which understates the importance of handwashing, and it omits F.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect as it includes E, which wrongly narrows environmental health to chemical issues.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it accepts E and omits A, denying safe water’s central role and limiting scope.

Option D:
Option D is correct since it selects A, B, D and F and excludes C and E.
