Explanation:

Question 58

To determine the key wellness risk of social isolation, we analyze each option:

• "Increased outdoor activity" is not a risk; it's a positive behavior, so this is incorrect.
• "Increased risk for chronic disease and mortality" aligns with research showing social isolation negatively impacts health, increasing such risks.
• "Improved nutrition" is a positive outcome, not a risk, so incorrect.
• "Less need for stress management" is illogical as social isolation can increase stress, so incorrect.

To identify why time in nature is a health equity issue, we analyze each option:

• "Only wealthy people use it" is an overgeneralization; access, not just use by wealth, is the issue.
• "Trees are expensive to plant" relates to cost of planting, not health equity in accessing nature.
• "Access to green spaces is unequal across neighborhoods" means some communities (e.g., low - income) have less access, creating health equity disparities as nature access impacts health.
• "Nature time harms academic achievement" is false; nature time generally benefits well - being and academic performance.

Answer:

B. Increased risk for chronic disease and mortality
