question 25 (mandatory) (2.857 points)
a(n) ______ is an infestation of a host by a disease - causing organism.
options: exposure, infection, contamination, transmission
question 26 (mandatory) (2.857 points)
a(n) ______ is an infectious disease that can be transmitted from one person to another.
options: infection, exposure, transmission, communicable disease

Explanation:

Question 25

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Exposure: Contact with a pathogen, not infestation.
• Infection: Infestation of a host by a disease - causing organism.
• Contamination: Presence of a contaminant, not infestation.
• Transmission: Transfer of a pathogen, not infestation.

So the correct option is the one with "Infection".

Analyze each option:

• Infection: Infestation of a host, not about transmission between people.
• Exposure: Contact with a pathogen, not about transmission.
• Transmission: Transfer mechanism, not the disease type.
• Communicable Disease: An infectious disease transmissible between people.

So the correct option is the one with "Communicable Disease".

Answer:

B. Infection (assuming the option for Infection is labeled as B, if the original labels were A: Exposure, B: Infection, C: Contamination, D: Transmission)
