option a is your answer...
Answer:
A) Air
Explanation:
tuberculosis is transmitted through the air, transmission occurs when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis, and the droplet nuclei traverse the mouth or nasal passages, upper respiratory tract, and bronchi to reach the alveoli of the lungs. Tubercle bacilli multiply in the alveoli. A small number of tubercle bacilli also enter the bloodstream and spread throughout the body. The tubercle bacilli may reach any part of the body, including areas where TB disease is more likely to develop (such as the brain, larynx, lymph node, lung, spine, bone, or kidney).
