Answer 1

Please find the answers below:

Answer 1: Choice a (the invasive ability of the pathogen does not directly relate to its incubation period. Mostly, the pathogen can retain itself in a dormant or active stage depending upon the phase of its own life cycle)

Answer 2: Choice c (accordingly, the inter-connectivity between the biotic and abiotic factors along with the environment induces pathogenicity)

Answer 3: True (Malaria is spreaded via female Anophelese mosquitoes which carry the pathogen Plasmodium, hence act as a vector)

Answer 4: False (An observational study is based upon examinations made by a person with respect to the set of conditions, hence not influenced by any means)
