Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A The mother is just producing the immunoglobulin from this infection, so it is not
available for the infant.
B Because of an immature immune system, infants are susceptible to many
infections. However, this infection is in the breast tissue and is not excreted in
the breast milk.
C The organisms are localized in the breast tissue and are not excreted in the breast
milk.
