30. Which of the following series best reflects what we know about how the flu virus moves between species?
(A) An avian flu virus undergoes several mutations and rearrangements such that it is able to be
transmitted to other birds and then to humans.
(B) The flu virus in a pig is mutated and replicated in alternate arrangements so that humans who eat the
pig products can be infected.
(C) A flu virus from a human epidemic or pandemic infects birds; the birds replicate the virus differently
and then pass it back to humans.
(D) An animal such as a pig is infected with more than one virus, genetic recombination occurs, the new
virus mutates and is passed to a new species such as a bird, the virus mutates and can be transmitted to
humans.
