Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Research has shown that individuals who are well-educated and have a higher income are more likely to use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). European American women also tend to have higher rates of CAM use compared to other racial/ethnic groups. While age and gender can also be factors, there is no evidence to suggest that being Asian American or being an athlete would make a person more likely to use CAM.
