The correct answer is d. C.E.A. Winslow. In 1920, Dr. Charles-Edward Amory Winslow defined public health as “the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health and efficiency through organized community effort.” He believed that public health was essential in assuring the conditions necessary for good health among the population. His definition became the basis for the development of public health as a profession and a field of study.
