Which term refers to the normal functioning of emotional and intellectual abilities?

• A. Moving
• B. Memory loss
• C. Mental health
• D. Musculoskeletal

Answer: (C)

Mental health refers to the normal functioning of emotional and intellectual abilities. It describes how a person thinks, feels, and behaves in daily life—being able to cope with stress, make decisions, relate to others, and remember and use information appropriately. When these emotional and cognitive processes work well, daily tasks are manageable and interactions are appropriate.

Moving describes physical action and mobility, not emotional or thinking abilities. Memory loss is a sign of impairment, not normal functioning. Musculoskeletal relates to muscles, bones, and joints, which is a physical/structural system rather than emotional or cognitive health.
