Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

• Microbial flora is a specific kind of bacterial organisms that are present in the human body and show a symbiotic relationship with the host, the human body.
• They are the specific type of bacteria and are present in a specific region of the human body. Like in the gut cavity, respiratory tract, urinogenital tract, vaginal cavity, etc. all these parts have a specific type of microbial flora.
• Also they are specific to a certain as like in infants who are just born the microbial colony is at it beginning stage of growth and Lactobacillus like bacteria which are used to digest milk are found more in the gut cavities of the baby, which decreases as the age increases and the body starts surviving on food that is more than milk.
  
• Also whenever due to any disease or some other problem there is a disturbance in the structure of the flora it will eventually repair itself as soon as the unfavourable environment is dealt with.
  

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