Answer 1

The correct statement about the flu is:

It is spread by contact with infected people or objects.

To clarify the other statements:

• The flu is caused by a virus (influenza virus), not a bacterial disease.
• A fever is often associated with the flu; it is not true that there is never a fever.
• The flu can be more serious than a common cold, and it can lead to severe complications.
