Solution
The correct option is D All of the above
Human beings serve as a reservoir of infection in which an infectious agent normally lives and multiplies.
The carrier typically harbours the infectious agent (pathogen) without injury to itself and serves as a source from which other individuals can be infected.
The carrier must contain sufficient antibodies to destroy the antigens, so that carrier is not harmed with the pathogens.
