UNICEF's social mobilization strategy summarized by the acronym GOBI-FFF includes all of the following elements EXCEPT:

• A Oral rehydration therapy
• B Breastfeeding
• C Universal salt iodization ✓
• D Female education

Explanation

GOBI stands for Growth monitoring, Oral rehydration, Breastfeeding and Immunization; the added FFF are Female education, Family planning (birth spacing) and Food supplementation. Universal salt iodization is a major micronutrient strategy promoted jointly with WHO and ICCIDD, but it was never part of the GOBI-FFT package, which makes it the correct exception here. The remaining three options are literal letters of the acronym and cannot be the answer, which rewards students who recall the expansion exactly.
