The answer for the question is 'D' which is all of the above but EPIDEMIC WAS THE MAJOR REASON BEHIND THE DEATH OF 13 MILLION PEOPLE IN 1921.
Explanation: The Spanish Flu is the world's worst epidemic in history. It afflicted about 500 million people worldwide (more than a quarter of the world's population) and killed nearly 100 million people.
In India alone, 17 million people died. One of the most tumultuous periods in Indian history. Imagine the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa multiplied by 5000, wreaking havoc on the entire world in a matter of months.
Because news censors in all of the main countries clamped down on publicizing the horrors as World War II raged on and they didn't want to dampen the morale of their people, the disease was dubbed the Spanish Flu. Because Spain did not take part in World War II, its casualties were reported more openly, leading to the assumption that it was Spain that was most afflicted.
It should be known as the Indian flu because that is where it was most prevalent. In a few of months, a population ten times that of Saudi Arabia was wiped out.
The flu started in northern China in 1917, migrated to Boston, mutated there, and then spread all over the world due to military movements. It moved from the United States to Europe and then to India. The main cause of the spread was faster transportation. There was no resistance to the virus because most of the doctors had been sent abroad to care for the wounded in the war.
