Answer:
1.A number of new cases of a disease in a given populaton duringa given period of time is called Incidence. optionD
- prevalance is the actul no of alive species withdisease in a perticular time.

Explination
Epidiomiologist are the public health professionals whoinvestigate pattern cause of disease and injury in human.they arethe trained porfessionals in the field of epidemiology.
3. An epidemic will die out when the besic reproduction no (R0)is R0<1.The R0 is less than 1 the infectionwill spread slowly and it will eventially dieout.option D.
Explination
The higher the value of R0 the faster the epidemisc willprogress..
when R0 > 1 Th einfection willl spreadexponentially.
