The correct answer is D. Need.
Build, height, and weight are all personal characteristics that can contribute to a person’s tendency to disease. For example, people who are overweight or obese are at an increased risk for developing certain types of cancer, heart disease, and stroke. People who are short or have a small frame may be at an increased risk for developing osteoporosis. And people who have a certain body type, such as an apple shape, may be at an increased risk for developing certain types of cancer.
Need, on the other hand, is not a personal characteristic. It is a state of wanting or requiring something. People of all builds, heights, and weights can have needs. For example, everyone needs food, water, and shelter. Everyone also needs love, support, and belonging.
While needs can affect a person’s health, they are not personal characteristics that contribute to a person’s tendency to disease.
