What is another word for PRECAUTION?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Preventive measure.' A precaution is a preventive action taken to avoid harm or danger.

'Breadth' (choice D) refers to the extent or width of something and is unrelated to the child's difficulty due to a stuffy nose.
