It would most likely be A. 10grams considering grams is the smallest and we are talking about a feather.
Well there alot of challenges faced by biologist researchers during the research of infectious disease, however major of those include the followings:
1- Defining and measuring the fitness for pathogens across the scales
2- Developing models to capture the impact of co-infection on the evolutionary process
3- Modeling how pathogen characteristics shape the evolution of hose immune diversity
4- Understanding the maintenance of pathogen diversity
5- Developing the better models for the impact of genetic systems on pathogen evolution .
