• A. National One Health platform.
• B. A veterinary-only advisory board.
• C. A local farmers market committee.
• D. A pharmaceutical industry task force.

Answer: (A)

Cross-sector governance in One Health is best demonstrated by a national One Health platform, which institutionalizes collaboration across human, animal, and environmental health sectors to shape policy and coordinate actions. This kind of platform brings together ministries, agencies, researchers, and often private and civil society partners to share data, set joint priorities, harmonize surveillance, and mount coordinated responses to threats that cross species and ecosystems. It creates a formal, inclusive structure that keeps actions aligned across sectors and supports rapid, unified decision-making. A veterinary-only advisory board stays within one sector and cannot drive cross-sector policy; a local farmers market committee operates at a community level with limited reach; a pharmaceutical industry task force centers on industry perspectives and lacks broad multi-sector governance for public health.
