Explanation:

To solve this, we recall definitions: A fomite is an inanimate object that transmits pathogens (e.g., doorknob, tissue, etc.). A vector is a living organism (usually an arthropod like a mosquito, tick) that transmits pathogens. Common fomite examples: doorknob, tissue, contaminated surface. Common vectors: mosquito, tick, flea. So for the first blank (fomite), options could be like "doorknob", "tissue" etc. For the second blank (vector), options like "mosquito", "tick" etc. (Since drop - down options aren't shown, we base on standard definitions. Assuming typical options: first blank - e.g., "doorknob" (fomite), second blank - e.g., "mosquito" (vector)).

Answer:

First drop - down (fomite example): e.g., "doorknob" (or other inanimate pathogen - carrying object). Second drop - down (vector example): e.g., "mosquito" (or other living pathogen - transmitting organism). (Note: Exact answer depends on drop - down options, but based on definitions, fomite is inanimate, vector is living and transmits pathogens.)
