Explanation

  • The correct option accurately pairs each public health term with its standard definition.
  • Epidemiology (1) is correctly defined as the study of disease distribution (d).
  • Community health (2) is accurately described as the promotion of health at the community level (c).
  • Biomedical waste management (3) correctly corresponds to the proper disposal of medical waste (b).
  • Demography (4) is the study of population statistics (a), which is a correct match.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

  • Option A: This option incorrectly matches multiple terms. For example, it links Epidemiology (study of disease) with promoting community health and Community health with waste disposal.
  • Option B: This option incorrectly pairs Epidemiology with the study of population statistics (which is Demography) and Demography with the study of disease distribution (which is Epidemiology).
  • Option D: This is not a valid answer choice but indicates that the question was not attempted by the user.
