Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three choices (A, B, C) are commonly used to define what a community is. A community can be defined by its physical boundaries (geographic boundaries), shared interests and values (common values and interests), and interactions among its members (defined by their interactions). Choice D is not a definition of a community, but rather a description of an individual with a specific health concern.
