What is an Airborne Pathogen and an example of one?

  1. The state of being in good health

  2. Any force that's capable or causes serious injuries and/or death

  3. Disease that is transmitted through the air. (ie. Tuberculosis (TB))

  4. Under 30%. Over 30% signifies obesity.

The correct answer is: Disease that is transmitted through the air. (ie. Tuberculosis (TB))

An airborne pathogen is a disease that can be transmitted through the air - typically through coughing, sneezing, or talking. It is incorrect to choose options A and D, as they do not accurately describe what an airborne pathogen is. Option B also does not fit as it is a broad definition of a force, rather than a specific type of disease. Other examples of airborne pathogens are influenza, measles, and chickenpox.
