Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Brushing their teeth and flossing are unrelated to making children more prone to tonsillitis and pharyngitis.

C Incorrect. High sugar intake is unrelated to making children more prone to tonsillitis and pharyngitis.
D Incorrect. Infrequent or improper bathing is unrelated to making children more prone to tonsillitis and pharyngitis.
