Why is there such a wide variety of immune system responses between hosts when they are infected with the same virus? (1 point)
• Each person's immune system employs different tactics to get rid of the virus.
• People that have already been infected are asymptomatic.
Some viruses are resistant to antibiotics, so they cause a stronger immune system response.
Slight variations due to mutations in the virus trigger different responses in
people.

Each person's genetic makeup, previous exposure to similar viruses, overall health, and various environmental factors can all influence the immune system response to a virus. This variability leads to different levels of symptoms and severity of illness among individuals infected with the same virus.
