Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
The organisms are localized in the breast tissue and are not excreted in the breast milk.
The mother is just producing the immunoglobulin from this infection, so it is not available for the infant.
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.
The organism will not get into the infant's gastrointestinal system.
