Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Sweden has a strong social welfare system with universal coverage for medical treatments, which includes conventional medicine. This may lead people in Sweden to rely less on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) as compared to the United States. The other three countries - United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia - have more diverse healthcare options that include both conventional medicine and CAM, making it less clear whether CAM is used less often than in the United States.
