Telehealth means health services are delivered to a patients from distance using information technology and electronic communication. Option A is correct.
Telehealth is not limited by distance, so license is must for the professional body that is providing treatment, when patients of different countries are being treated. Clients safety is priority.

The information provided by patient as well as by the therapist, should remain confidential.
