Answer:

Some patients and healthcare workers are usually sensitive to latex or its products such as gloves or condom without them knowing at all so it’s best to use the approach of observing if they are sensitive to other products which has a correlation with latex in terms of sensitivity.

If the patient or healthcare workers are sensitive to kiwifruit, papayas, avocados, bananas, potatoes, or tomatoes then they have a higher chance of having a sensitivity or allergy to latex.

The groundwater is being discharged faster than it is being recharged is the data suggested.

Option D

<h3><u>Ex planation:</u></h3>

Ground water level is the level of underground storage of water above the impermeable rock layer. The underground water is getting filtered through different layers of permeable rocks before it enters the final layer. So it’s fresh and ready to be consumed as it is taken out. Thus for centuries, it’s being used as the source of drinking water.

But with increasing population, the ground water is being consumed at the rate very faster than it can be refilled from different sources like precipitation, rivers and other water bodies. So its level tends to get lower and lower as this continues until the point it gets finished.
