Final answer:

Option C, adding fruit and milk to high school vending machines, would likely not be considered an environmental change strategy as it does not involve altering the physical or social environments in a manner affecting multiple health behaviors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which of the following would likely NOT be considered an environmental change strategy. Environmental change strategies are actions taken to transform the built or natural environment to promote health and well-being.

Option A, implementing a "no smoking on company property" rule, would be an environmental change strategy as it removes exposure to secondhand smoke and encourages a healthier environment. Option B, connecting cul-de-sac streets with walk-thru sidewalks, would encourage physical activity and is also an environmental change strategy. Option D, building private rooms for breastfeeding in all malls, supports health and well-being by making it easier for mothers to breastfeed, aligning with environmental health strategies.

The option that would likely NOT be considered an environmental change strategy is C. Adding fruit and milk to high school vending machines. While this is a part of a strategy to promote healthier eating choices, it doesn't involve changing the physical or social environments that affect multiple health behaviors. Therefore, it doesn't fit the definition of an environmental change strategy as closely as the other options.
