Answer to Question 1

D
Handwashing has been proven to be one of the most effective ways of controlling the spread of pathogens.
Immunization is the process by which resistance to an infectious disease is produced or aug-mented.
Isolation helps in controlling the spread of pathogens but is not the most effective practice.

It is not mandatory to seek organ donation even if it will save a recipient's life.
