Answer: The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

A false negative test is a diagnostic error in which a test shows absence of a disease even when a person is having a disease.

Similarly, in the given question a sample has anthrax spores; however, antibody test fails to show the presence of anthrax. Thus, it is a false negative.

In contrast, false positive error is the error in which the test shows the presence of disease even when a person is not suffering from it.

Sampling error is a statistical error.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

tigry1 [53]
Hello there!

These structures are called Vestigial Structures.

The Vestigial Structures are those whose original function was lost during evolution. In humans, these structures are the appendix, the coccyx, the wisdom teeth and others. 

In animals, examples of vestigial structures are the wings of flightless birds, hind leg bones on whales and pythons and eyes in blind fishes. Those vestigial structures help scientists study the evolution of some species.
