Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Community, Primary. The nurse should recognize the ordinance as a primary prevention measure at the community level. Primary prevention aims to prevent the onset of a disease or health issue before it occurs. In this case, the ordinance is targeting the entire community by prohibiting tobacco sales to minors to prevent them from starting a harmful habit. This intervention addresses the root cause of tobacco use among youth. The other choices are incorrect because secondary prevention focuses on early detection and intervention in individuals who already have the condition, and individual-level interventions do not have the same broad impact as community-level interventions in addressing public health issues.
