Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The biopsychosocial model of health considers the interplay between biological, psychological, and social factors in determining health outcomes. Cade's belief that his lack of sleep and distress led to catching a cold demonstrates an acknowledgement of psychological and social factors influencing his health in addition to biological factors (such as exposure to the cold virus).
