Virulence can evolve dependent upon the transmission rates ofpathogens among hosts. Which of the following is a CORRECTstatement?
A. Lowering the Transmission rate of disease can decrease theirvirulence
B. Easily transmitted pathogens that require hosts to be activeand mobile are likely to evolve lowered virulence
C. Pathogens that are transmitted by Vectors (such as bitinginsects) or by contaminated water are likely to evolve lowervirulence
D. Antibiotic resistance favors higher virulence
