Question

A disease that has a steady frequency over time in a population is
A)epidemic.
B)endemic.
C)pandemic.
D)sporadic.
E)chronic.

Accepted Answer

An endemic disease refers to a disease that is consistently present at a steady frequency in a particular geographic area or population group. It is not a sudden outbreak or a rare occurrence (sporadic), nor is it widespread across multiple regions or countries (pandemic). It is not necessarily a long-lasting or recurring illness either (chronic).
