The term prevention primarily refers to "acting to avoid negative health outcomes." It encompasses strategies and measures taken to reduce the risk of diseases, injuries, and other health-related issues before they occur. While the other options are related to health and well-being, they do not capture the essence of the concept of prevention as directly as the correct option does.
