Which scenario would result in the lowest transmission rates of pathogens among individuals in a group?
A) A small group living in an area where resources are abundant
B) A large group living in an area where resources are abundant
C) A small group living in an area where resources are scarce
D) A large group living in an area where resources are scarce

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A small group living in an area where resources are abundant would have the lowest transmission rates because fewer individuals are in close contact, reducing the chance of pathogen spread, and abundant resources reduce stress and competition, which can weaken immune responses.
