The correct sequence of a disease process is incubation, prodromal period, illness, decline, and convalescence. The incubation period is the time between exposure to the disease and the onset of symptoms. The prodromal period is characterized by the onset of non-specific symptoms. The illness period is when the disease is at its peak and specific symptoms are present. The decline period is when symptoms begin to subside. The convalescence period is when the patient recovers from the illness. Option D is the only one that has the correct sequence.
