The correct answer is B. Poverty.

Explanation

An environmental factor is a name given to a characteristic of the environment in which a person develops, for example, the country, culture, religion, socio-economic situation, among others. On many occasions, these social factors can determine the mental health conditions of people based on the conditions in which they are born, grow, develop and interact with others. Therefore, the population groups living in poverty and with fewer resources, the most vulnerable groups of immigrant populations or ethnic minority groups, and the unemployed present worse mental health results in the short and long term. This is because due to their poverty, they cannot access a mental health service that can help them overcome mental problems; also, the problems associated with lack of money, such as food for him/her and his/her family, access to education, access to decent housing, clothing, among others. So, the correct is B. Poverty.
