What is the best way to prevent the spread of infection according to the text?

Using antibiotics
Wearing masks
Washing and cleaning hands frequently
Using hand sanitizer

The correct answer is: Washing and cleaning hands frequently

Washing and cleaning hands frequently is the best way to prevent the spread of infection according to the text. This is because antibiotics only work on bacterial infections, not viral infections which are often the cause of illnesses. Wearing masks may help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses but may not be effective in preventing other forms of infections. Hand sanitizer can be helpful in reducing the spread of germs, but it is not as effective as washing hands with soap and water. Additionally, using only hand sanitizer may not remove dirt or other contaminants from hands. Therefore, washing and cleaning hands frequently is the most effective and recommended method for preventing the spread of infection.
