    Which of the following statements is a naturalistic view of what causes illness?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. “Illness is caused by cold, heat, wind, and dampness.” is correct because the naturalistic view explains illness in terms of natural forces or environmental imbalances. B. “Only natural agents are effective in treating illness.” refers more to treatment preference, not a view of the cause of illness. C. “Outside agents, such as evil spirits, upset the body’s natural balance.” reflects a magico-religious view, not naturalistic. D. “Illness is a natural part of life and therefore unavoidable.” reflects a fatalistic perspective, not naturalistic.
