<em>The </em><u><em>prevention</em></u><em> function of social work</em><em> focuses on </em><em>eliminating factors that hinder an individual’s ability to function effectively</em><em> and on rehabilitating an individual’s ability to interact socially (option C)</em>.
Explanation:
In social work, prevention is a tool that allows the early detection of social problems as a risk factor and their elimination to achieve an effective social dynamic.
The two objectives of prevention in social work are:
<em>Attention to human relationships, whose alteration could trigger specific social problems, that affect individuals or small groups.</em>
<em>Prevention and elimination of all types of dysfunction within social groups, what is called social disease.
</em>
Social work must focus on preventive work rather than curative and rehabilitation work, with a deep vigilance and observation of social dynamics and warning signs of situations that could cause social problems.
