b. if your parents have good health, you will inherit that good health from them
c. exercise and a healthy diet play an important role in decreasing your chances of developing a disease
d. you will always have good health if you maintain a good set of habits throughout your lifetime.

• Option B: Health is not solely inherited; lifestyle, environment, etc., also play major roles. So this is false.

C. Exercise and a healthy diet play an important role in decreasing your chances of developing a disease
