A) very High
B) high
C) Moderate
D) none

Answer 1

Hint: Bird flu is an infection caused in birds and can also affect humans. Most strains of influenza virus infect birds. It is mostly contracted by contact with sick birds. It may also pass from one person to another.

Complete step-by-step answer:
There is no chance of bird flu as it is caused by the influenza virus and the virus can survive only up to 80 degrees. And if the chicken is properly cooked i.e., above 100 degrees then the virus will not be able to survive and we are completely safe. A virus kills at higher temperatures So there are no chances of contraction of bird flu.
Additional information Its symptoms are like common flu i.e., cough, fever, sore throat, muscle aches, headache, and shortness of breath. These symptoms are shown within 8-10 days. Some people also experience running noses. For prevention one should not visit poultry farms, bird markets, and places where poultry is there or sold. One should also not eat raw poultry products as cooking kills the viruses. One should wash hands after touching uncooked poultry. Cleanliness and hygiene should be maintained. If you feel sick you should visit a doctor.
Hence the correct answer is option d (none) .
Note: Mostly avian influenza A viruses are less disease-causing or pathogenic and show a few signs of disease in infected wild birds. Their treatment is oseltamivir, peramivir, or zanamivir.
