Another term for 'disease producing' is?

  1. Contagious

  2. Infectious

  3. Pathogenic

  4. Bacterial

The correct answer is: Pathogenic

An alternative term for 'disease producing' is pathogenic. While options A, B, and D may relate to certain characteristics of pathogenic substances (contagious and infectious mean likely to spread and bacterial is one type of pathogen), they do not fully encompass the definition of a pathogen, which is an organism that can cause disease. Option C captures the essence of this definition without using terms that are too specific.
