Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

An example of a modern conflict would be answer A.) “measles emerging in unvaccinated communities.”

The definition of an epidemic refers to the rapid spread of a sickness or a disease of some sort. Answer B would be incorrect because a tornado is a natural disaster, meaning it cannot be prevented.

Answer C would be incorrect because heatwaves also cannot be altered or prevented.

Answer D would be incorrect because no illness is mentioned here and this would be more of a population conflict.

This leaves us with answer A. Answer A is correct because measles are an illness and can emerge in unvaccinated communities.

Therefore, option A is correct.
