ANS: A, B, C, E
Health is affected by biology. Behaviors, social environment, physical environment, policies, and access to quality health care are all factors that affect health. The number and quality of health care providers is not relevant if one does not have access to them because of lack of insurance or financial resources. Understanding the need for healthy lifestyle choices is important, but knowledge alone is not adequate to change behavior.
