Answer:

A. The exposure distribution among cases is representative of all persons with disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

The case control study tries and compares two different populations where the disease has been present, because of that if the disease under investigation is strange or rare in one of the populations that would affect negatively the study, the best option would be is the exposure distribution among cases is representative of all persons with the disease.
