Question: 1 / 400

What does 'pathogenic' mean?

Disease preventing

Disease producing

"Pathogenic" refers to something that is capable of causing disease. While options A, C, and D may sound plausible, they do not accurately define "pathogenic". Option A, "disease preventing", would be better defined as "therapeutic", while option C, "environment stabilizing", would be better defined as "ecosystem-balancing". Option D, "infection limiting", could be an aspect of being pathogenic but does not fully encompass its meaning. Therefore, option B, "disease producing", is the most accurate answer.
