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.

Saturated fats are liquid at room temperature. found primarily in foods derived from plants. found in whole milk and beef. prote
muminat

Answer:

The correct answer will be- found in whole milk and beef

Explanation:

Saturated fats are the type of fat distinguished on the basis of chemical structure that is each carbon of the fat is saturated with hydrogen.  

The saturated fats are usually solid or waxy at room temperature as they lack the double bonds.

The saturated foods although present in the plant products like palm oil and coconut oil but not in all the food products.

Now researchers have tried to identify the role of saturated fatty acids to human health but they found the role of saturated fatty acids in raising the high-density lipoproteins only.

Since the fats are mostly found in milk products like beef and other dairy products like milk, butter, cream and others.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
