Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

If a patient shows behavioural and social maladjustment, he cannot be considered as healthy. Health is the condition in which the organism (and all of its parts) performs its vital functions normally. It is a state of physcial, social and mental well-being and not merely the absence of disease.
