Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Lomas's work on well-being and interventions in the social environment includes the microsystem level, exosystems level, and macrosystem level. However, the statement about the exosystems level focusing on the interaction of microsystems is not accurate. The exosystems level refers to external settings in which individuals do not directly participate, but that still have an impact on their well-being, such as public policies or cultural values.
