Correct answer: B. Three

- D. One
Explanation
Chikungunya is caused by the Chikungunya virus. Colostrum is the first breast milk of a mother which contains antibodies (especially IgA) that protect the infant by the age of three months. Beer is manufactured by fermentation of barley malt by yeast species. Colostrum is a milky fluid that comes from the breasts of mammals the first few days after giving birth before true milk comes and is rich in proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and antibodies (not antigens).
