Respuesta :

C. Treatment for fungal infections varies depending on their location and severity.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Anti-viral medications are supposed to be used against viruses, not bacteria. So A is incorrect.

Similarly, antibiotics are meant to be used against bacteria, not viruses. So B is also incorrect.

While vaccines can prevent diseases, they cannot treat diseases. Additionally, a very small number of protozoan-caused diseases have vaccines. Malaria, a protozoan-caused disease spread by mosquitoes, has no licensed vaccine to combat it.

By process of elimination, C is correct.
