Answer to Question 1

A
A cross-sectional study collects information on current health status, personal characteristics, and potential risk factors or exposures all at once.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
