Explanation
Answer: D - Transfer you to the local hospital for quarantine

During an outbreak, two main traditional strategies are applied to contain the spread of illness: quarantine and isolation. These are common health care practices to control the spread of a contagious disease by limiting people’s exposure to it. In this situation you would quarantined, not isolated, because quarantine applies to those who have been exposed to a contagious disease but who may or may not become ill, while isolation applies to people who are known to be ill with a contagious disease.
