Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pathogens are specifically disease-causing organisms, while the other choices may have broader or slightly different meanings. Microbes can refer to any type of small living organism, including those that are harmless or even beneficial. Parasites specifically live on or within another organism and may or may not cause disease. Contagious simply means that a disease can be spread from person to person, but it does not necessarily indicate the cause of the disease.
