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.

The quote "putting yourself in another person shoes" is another way of describing
olga2289 [7]
Yes, the answer is B. When you put yourself in someone else's shoes, it's a metaphorical statement. You aren't replacing a person, changing roles with them, of being jealous of them. However, you are looking at something from the way they see it.

Nonprofit or voluntary agencies provide many services.
ivolga24 [154]
They can receive their funding from donations or a normal economic activity, with the difference being that all their revenue goes back into the function of the organisation.

Some services provided by non-profit are education and medical care, especially for the poor. An exemple is the Doctors Without Borders organisation.
