Two U.S. agencies whose focus is on health promotion and disease prevention are:

• A. U.S. Office of Health and Wellness and The Centers for Disease Control
• B. U.S. Office of Health and Wellness and National Institutes of Health
• C. The Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes of Health
• D. U.S. Senate and National Institutes of Health

Answer: (C)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention focuses directly on preventing illness and promoting public health through disease surveillance, guidance, and prevention programs. The National Institutes of Health contributes by funding and conducting biomedical research that reveals how diseases develop and how they can be prevented, providing the scientific basis for prevention efforts. Together, these two agencies are the best match for health promotion and disease prevention.

The other options include a non-existent federal office, a legislative body, or a pairing that doesn’t center on health promotion and prevention, so they don’t fit as well.
