The right option is; C. portal of entry  

The portal of entry is the route or manner in which an infectious agent enters the body. The portal of entry provides access to susceptible tissues in which the infectious agent can multiply and cause disease. Also, infectious agents can use the same portal of entry as a portal of exit to enter a new host. In the scenario from the question, the needle stick was the portal of entry in the chain of transmission.

Is the Withdrawal symptoms usually the opposite of the effects and side effects of the drug
kramer
Yes, true. Withdrawal occurs because your brain works like a spring when it comes to addiction. <span>Drugs and alcohol are brain depressants that push down the spring. They suppress your brain's production of neurotransmitters like noradrenaline. When you stop using drugs or alcohol it's like taking the weight off the spring, and your brain rebounds by producing a surge of adrenaline that causes withdrawal symptoms.</span>

Do you think it is possible to lose weight and stay physically fit without receiving proper nutrition? Justify your response.
lilavasa [31]
I do not think it is possible. You can loose weight by not consuming anything (not receiving proper nutrition) and it can be damaging to the body. Also without the proper nutrients is would be hard to maintain fitness because you would lack energy.
