Correct Answer: C — Not having an army to maintain to be able to spend more on public health.
Explanation:
The Costa Rican approach in the area of public health refers to not having an army to maintain, so that the country can spend more on public health. Costa Rica is a Central American country that gives priority to the health of its people and saves money by not possessing any army, using those funds for public health instead.
