select the correct answer.
which description best defines health?
a. being physically fit, eating a good diet, and not having any major diseases
b. being in the middle, rather than at either extreme, of the health continuum
c. maintaining a balance of physical, mental/emotional, and social well - being
d. eating well, having friends, liking yourself, and living for a long time

Explanation:

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well - being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Option A only focuses on physical aspects and the absence of major diseases, which is a narrow view. Option B's description about being in the middle of a health continuum is not a standard definition of health. Option D, while it includes some aspects like eating well, having friends, and liking oneself, does not comprehensively cover the physical, mental, and social well - being as accurately as Option C. Option C aligns with the WHO's definition of health by emphasizing the balance of physical, mental/emotional, and social well - being.

Answer:

C. maintaining a balance of physical, mental/emotional, and social well - being
