Well, let's use the process of elimination to help us out, shall we? Let's start with D, this is incorrect because if Julio thinks prevention is the best kind of medical treatment, he would have likely arrived early and ready for the appointment so we can eliminate D. Now, B is incorrect because he would also likely exercise very frequently so he can prevent obesity or weakness. Now, we are left with A and C. A would be the most likely answer since it even mentions preventing diseases and cavities so our answer would be A. c: Have a wonderful evening!
