This global problem is called a lack of A) education. B) healthcare. C) equity D) sanitation.

The answer is D) sanitation.

While education is crucial for improving living conditions and health outcomes, the specific issue described in the question relates to the physical infrastructure and resources needed to manage waste and maintain hygiene, rather than educational opportunities.

Healthcare involves the treatment and prevention of diseases through medical services. Although healthcare is important, the problem described is more about the infrastructure needed to prevent diseases, rather than the treatment of diseases once they occur.

Equity refers to fairness and justice in the distribution of resources and opportunities. While lack of equity can contribute to the problem, the specific issue here is about the absence of facilities and systems to manage waste and ensure hygiene.

Sanitation involves the systems and practices that ensure the safe disposal of human waste and the maintenance of hygienic conditions. The problem described—lack of safe sewage disposal and clean water for hygiene—directly relates to inadequate sanitation infrastructure.
