Which term describes the transfer, such as of a disease, from one person to another?

• A. Transmission
• B. Trauma
• C. Ubiquitous
• D. Urinate

Answer: (A)

This asks about how diseases spread from one person to another. The term that describes this transfer is transmission. It covers the ways pathogens move from an infected person to others, such as through direct contact, droplets from coughing or sneezing, airborne particles, contaminated surfaces, or vectors. The other words don’t fit this idea: trauma means injury, ubiquitous means present everywhere, and urinate means to excrete urine. So transmission is the correct term for disease spread between people.
