Question

When an individual contracts __________, the symptoms are treated rather than the actual illness itself. A. a bacterial infection B. a fungal infection C. a protozoan infection D. a viral infection

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. a viral infection. Viruses are immune to antibiotics and and can't be killed easily, so you treat the symptoms and the body establishes immunity and defeats the weakened virus. That's why once you get things like the measles once, you can never get them again after in your life.
