Answer
A
Bacterial infections are common and are best treated with antiviral medications.

Viral infections are highly variable and need to be treated with antibiotics that are specific for the particular virus.
C
Treatment for fungal infections varies depending on their location and severity.
D
Protozoan infections are uncommon and can be treated and prevented with vaccines.

Explanation

Fungal infections can affect different parts of the body and range in severity, so their treatment depends on where the infection is and how serious it is. The statement that treatment varies by location and severity is true; antibiotics treat bacteria, not viruses, and vaccines do not generally prevent protozoan infections.
