-
BNeither I nor II follows
-
COnly I follows

DEither I or II follows
-
EBoth I and II follow
Answer
Correct Answer: Only II follows
Explanation
Given data
- Food-source Vitamin E shows benefit; capsules reportedly do not have the same effect.
- Course I: ban capsules.
- Course II: promote dietary Vitamin E via fruits and vegetables.
Concept/Approach (evidence-consistent, least-restrictive action)Encouraging effective behaviour change (dietary intake) follows logically; banning a legally sold supplement is not warranted by the statement alone.
Step 1: Course IA ban requires proof of harm or illegality, neither of which is provided.
Step 2: Course IIDirectly aligned with the evidence stated and non-coercive.
Final AnswerOnly II follows.
