In this scenario, a pathogen is able to rapidly move from one animal to another animal.

A. The pathogen did not change anything to do so.
B. The pathogen intensified the disease it produces.
C. The pathogen increased its genetics to do so.
D. The pathogen decreased the intensity of the disease it produces.

Answer :

In this scenario, a. the pathogen did not change anything to do so while moving from one animal to another animal.

Pathogens can indeed move from one host to another without undergoing genetic changes. They can spread directly, using various modes of transmission such as airborne, direct contact, or vector. For example, the flu virus can jump directly from animals to humans without any genetic modification.

Pathogens often rely on their hosts' mobility and various transmission mechanisms to spread without needing to change genetically. This allows them to rapidly infect new host.
