Question

which factor contributes to a persons risk of having a mental health disorder?
○ living in an urban environment
○ having a family history of mental illness
○ having a friend with a mental health disorder
○ being exposed to a variety of social situations

Explanation:

Mental health disorders have genetic and familial links. Family history of mental illness (due to genetic predisposition or shared environmental factors in families) is a well - established risk factor. Living in an urban environment is not a direct strong risk factor, having a friend with a disorder doesn't transfer risk (no genetic or direct causal link), and exposure to social situations is more about social interaction rather than a risk factor for mental health disorders.

Answer:

B. having a family history of mental illness
