  3. 810 days
  4. 1021 days
  5. 3050 days
  6. 120180 days

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The incubation period for diphtheria is 17 days. The incubation period for chicken pox is 1021 days, average 14. Infectious mononucleosis, caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, has an estimated incubation period of 3050 days. The incubation period following infection by the mumps virus is usually 1618 days but, like chicken pox, may vary from 14 to 25 days. Pertussis has a shorter incubation period, usually 710 days, with a variation of 421 days. The usual period from contamination with tetanus spores to clinical symptoms is generally 68 days. For rubella, the incubation period is from 14 to 21 days, but usually ranges from 16 to 18 days.
