ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: D
Community outcry for social reform forced state and local governments to take notice of deplorable conditions and take more responsibility for controlling the spread of bacteria and other microorganisms. Hospital overcrowding, unprofitability of businesses, and physician demand for government support did not influence the increased involvement of local and state governments.
