Answer to Question 1

Saved me massive time.

Answer to Question 2

C
This disease is usually spread by inhaling the bacilli in droplets that have been coughed out by an infected person. Accidental direct inoculation can rarely occur. The type of TB that can infect cows does not cause human disease.
