A is incorrect since public health policies act against illnesses and diseases. Certainly, the goal is to decrease transmission of diseases rather than propagate. C is incorrect since public health policies educate people to make effective health decisions. B is the best answer since public health policies reduce probabilities of diseases. It is not an obligation to provide vaccination since these are costly but these will be made readily available as much as needed and can be provided.
