[2025-10-01T16:39:34.332985] [PI reasoning] **Interpreting surveillance definitions**

I need to answer the multiple-choice question about epidemiological surveillance. The definitions suggest it refers to the ongoing collection and analysis of health data. I'm seeing that option D simply repeats "epidemiological surveillance," which isn't very helpful. However, if they mean to define the ongoing systematic process, that would just be "surveillance." So, while D is technically correct, it feels tautological; the intent might be clearer with a different phrasing around systematic data collection.
