Question

question 1 of 5 which activity will best help prevent the common cold? a. taking regular showers b. not touching your mouth, nose, or eyes c. brushing your teeth regularly d. taking antibiotics

Explanation:

The common cold is caused by viruses, and the main route of infection is through contact with mucous membranes (mouth, nose, eyes) after touching contaminated surfaces. Option A (regular showers) doesn't directly prevent colds. Option C (brushing teeth) is for oral hygiene, not cold prevention. Option D (antibiotics) are ineffective against viruses. So the best activity is not touching mouth, nose, or eyes to avoid virus entry.

Answer:

B. Not touching your mouth, nose, or eyes
