Questions: Public policy is the common sense and conscience of the community extended and applied throughout the state to matters of public safety, welfare, image, morals, health, interest

The answer is "welfare": Public policy is the common sense and conscience of the community extended and applied throughout the state to matters of public welfare.

Explanation for each option:

1. Safety: While public policy does address safety, the term "welfare" more comprehensively encompasses the broader range of issues that public policy aims to address, including safety.

2. Welfare: This is the correct answer. Public policy is fundamentally concerned with the welfare of the community, which includes health, safety, morals, and other aspects that contribute to the well-being of the public.

3. Image: Public policy is not primarily concerned with the image of the community or state, although image can be a secondary consideration in some policies.

4. Morals: While public policy can reflect the morals of a community, it is more accurately described as addressing the welfare of the community, which includes moral considerations.

5. Health: Health is a component of public welfare, but public policy encompasses more than just health-related issues.

6. Interest: Public policy does consider the interests of the community, but "welfare" is a more comprehensive term that includes the interests, health, safety, and morals of the public.
