Ans:
A

Feedback:

An object that carries an infectious organism, such as a dirty syringe, is known as a fomite. Airborne contact with TB does not utilize a fomite. An infection via contact with an infected arthropod constitutes zoonosis. A person who consumes ova in undercooked meat acquires an infection by ingestion.
