Question

when an infection occurs due to the weakened physiological state of the body, it is called a/an select infection. select opportunistic systemic severe bacteria

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "opportunistic": Opportunistic infections occur when the body's immune system is weakened (physiological state is compromised), allowing normally harmless microbes to cause infection.
• "systemic": Refers to an infection affecting the whole body, not related to a weakened state.
• "severe": Describes the intensity of an infection, not the cause related to a weakened body.
• "bacteria": A type of microbe, not a type of infection defined by a weakened body state.

So the correct term for an infection due to a weakened physiological state is opportunistic.

Answer:

A. opportunistic
