Question

Answer 1

A - Food-Born Illness

Answer 2

Food-borne infection and food-borne intoxication are two forms of food-borne illness. When pathogens are ingested and then multiply in the body, it is known as food-borne infection.

The symptoms of food-borne infection may appear eight hours after ingestion, but it is more likely that they will appear anywhere between two days and a few weeks afterward. For example, the hepatitis A virus has an incubation period of approximately twenty-eight days, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

So the answer is D, food borne infection.
