D
A preventative health behavior increases the risk of illness while healthy behavior decreases the risk.

Preventative health behaviors are actions taken to lower the chance of illness or injury, such as getting vaccinated or wearing a seat belt. They are one kind of healthy behavior, so there is no separate category that makes them fundamentally different.
