Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that pathogens are microorganisms that can cause disease and can be transmitted in various ways, including through the air.
Recognize that when an infected individual coughs or sneezes, they release tiny droplets containing pathogens into the air, which can then be inhaled by others.
Note that drinking water, washing hands, or taking antibiotics do not directly cause pathogens to be carried in the air.
Focus on the mechanism of airborne transmission, which involves respiratory droplets expelled during coughing or sneezing.
Conclude that the correct action that leads to pathogens being given off and carried in the air is when an infected individual coughs or sneezes.
