Question

question 3 of 5
what happens during a flu pandemic?

a. a flu infection in a young, elderly, or medically weakened person
b. a yearly economic downturn due to illness
c. a strain of flu infects many people all over the world
d. a flu virus that jumps from pigs to human beings

Explanation:

• Option A describes a flu infection in vulnerable individuals, which is not a pandemic (a pandemic involves widespread global infection).
• Option B refers to a yearly economic downturn due to illness, which is not the definition of a flu pandemic.
• Option C: A pandemic is defined as the spread of a disease (like a flu strain) affecting many people across the world, so this matches the concept of a flu pandemic.
• Option D describes a zoonotic flu transmission (from pigs to humans), which is the origin of some flu strains but not what happens during a pandemic (the pandemic is the widespread infection, not the transmission source).

Answer:

C. A strain of flu infects many people all over the world
