Select one:

O d. sent to the infirmary

Answer 1

c. killed.

In the context of the concentration camp, the selection process was a way for the Nazi authorities to choose which prisoners were fit enough to work and which ones should be killed. Those who were deemed unfit, such as the elderly, the sick, and the young, were immediately sent to the gas chambers. Therefore, when a prisoner was selected, it meant that their fate was most likely to be killed.
