Which of the following is the welfare need related to protection from pain, injury and disease?

• A. Vaccination status
• B. Access to social media
• C. Protected from Pain, Injury and Disease
• D. Loud noise avoidance

Answer: (C)

The main idea being tested is understanding that one of the fundamental welfare needs is being protected from pain, injury and disease. This wording directly matches the welfare goal of preventing suffering through proper medical care, analgesia when needed, wound management, and disease prevention. That direct description is what makes it the best choice.

Vaccination status is a means to prevent disease, but it describes a preventive measure rather than the welfare need itself. The other options don’t address protection from pain, injury and disease, even though factors like noise or social media use can affect welfare in broader ways.
