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.
So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
