التوضيح
Prognosis refers to the prediction of the disease outcome. For example, the prognosis of a 47-year-old female with allergic asthma due to exposure to pollen is good. This results when pollens are avoided by her and medications are taken for decreasing allergic response.
Diagnosis refers to the disease identification. The study of the history, signs, symptoms and diagnostic test results helps in determining the disease. The specific group of symptoms and signs that are associated with a particular disease is called a syndrome.
Hence, the options a, b and d are incorrect.
Disease refers to a condition where the body does not function normally. Its literal meaning is 'not at ease'. A disease upsets the normal function or structure of the body. The causative agent or the cause of a disease is referred to as its etiology.
Hence, the correct answer is option
