Answer 1

The correct answer is option A) "microbial".

Step-by-step explanation:

We live in a close relationship with our microbial communities, which live in many different regions of our body and constitute what is known as the human microbiota. Disrupting our microbial communities may increase our susceptibility to infectious diseases, as well as many other diseases, because we make room for others microorganisms to occupy their place. These microorganism most likely will not be beneficial to our body, on the contrary they act as pathogens.
