Detailed Solution

A pathogen is a microorganism or other agent that can cause disease in a host organism. Pathogens can mutate and evolve, making them more virulent or resistant to treatment over time. Pathogens can be spread through various means, such as direct contact, respiratory droplets, contaminated food or water, and vector-borne transmission (spread by insects or animals). Pathogens can cause both acute and chronic infections. Pathogens can evolve resistance to antibiotics over time, making it harder to treat infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Therefore, statement B is false, as pathogens can be spread through multiple means.
