Which term means more likely to occur?

• A. Precaution
• B. Predispose
• C. Prognosis
• D. Primary

Answer: (B)

Predispose means to incline someone to a condition or make them more susceptible, so it directly conveys being more likely to occur. For example, certain risk factors or genetics can predispose a person to a disease, increasing the probability that it will develop. A precaution is an action taken to prevent something from happening, not about the likelihood of occurrence. Prognosis is the expected course or outcome of a disease, not the chance of getting it. Primary refers to something first or main, not to likelihood.
