  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
TB is primarily a lung disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is transmitted through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or even sings. These activities release tiny droplets containing the bacteria into the air, which can be inhaled by others and lead to infection. Therefore, all of the options mentioned (air currents, sneezing, and singing) are correct in terms of how TB can spread.

D. Cannot spread to others

Explanation
When describing a patient with TB disease, all of the given statements are true except for "Cannot spread to others." TB disease is highly contagious and can be spread from person to person through the air when an infected individual coughs or sneezes. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that a patient with TB disease cannot spread the infection to others.

The statement is false because the only place to receive a copy of the MQ-medical standard on infectious diseases, specifically TB, is not just the Center Manager. There could be other sources or individuals who can provide a copy of the standard, such as the organization's HR department, the medical department, or the official website of the organization.
