Answer:

Option c (No, T cells left from the previous infection can kill any virus.

)

Explanation:

When ever viral infection occur, body's immune system start to fight against it by activating B-cells and T-cells.

B-cells produce antibodies that bind with virus and act as label. This label indicate virus as foreign substance. Hence T-cells recognize it and kill it. Furthermore, B-cells form memory cell that keep the viral memory. if this viral infection occur again in future, T-cell recognize it and eliminate the virus.This mechanism is called immunity.

What must happen to the agent of erosion (wind or water) in order for deposition to occur?
Gnoma [55]

I am pretty sure that it is D

With decomposition, the final deposition of particles(sediments) usually occurs at the mouth of a stream. Then a process called horizontal sorting occurs where the sediments that were once carried down are arranged from big to small. Decomposition in streams takes time so the speed of the water and wind should not affect it nor should gravity or the direction. Streams cannot change direction either unless human involement occurs

Hope this helps :)
