Which term means 'process and causes of a disease'?

Which term means 'process and causes of a disease'?

• A. Pathology
• B. Pathogenic
• C. Posterior
• D. Potential

Answer: (A)

Pathology is the study of disease, including what causes diseases and how they develop and affect tissues. This makes it the best answer because it covers both the origin (etiology) and the progression (pathogenesis) of disease. The other terms don’t fit: pathogenic refers to something that causes disease, posterior means behind, and potential means possible.
