Housing Regulations in Old Public Health sought to achieve which outcome?

• A. Mortgage subsidies
• B. Advertising campaigns
• C. Better quality housing and the elimination of slums, less crowded houses with better ventilation, drains and sewerage
• D. Urban planning for bike lanes

Answer: (C)

The main idea being tested is that housing regulations in the old public health era aimed to protect health by improving living conditions. They targeted better quality housing and the elimination of slums, reducing crowding, and ensuring proper ventilation, drainage, and sewerage. These measures directly address the environmental factors that drive disease and poor health, so they’re the most fitting outcome of those regulations. Mortgage subsidies relate to financing rather than the built environment; advertising campaigns focus on health messaging rather than housing conditions; bike lanes are a modern urban planning concern not central to historical housing regulation.
