(N/A) Health refers to a state of complete physical,mental,and social well-being,not merely the absence of disease. $A$ person may be disease-free but still suffer from poor mental or social health.
$(b)$ Individual health is dependent on the environment. Community health ensures proper sanitation,hygiene,and disease control,which prevents the spread of infectious diseases to individuals.
