Answer 1

The incorrect statement is touching face with contaminated hands.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is incorrect is:

d) Touching face with contaminated hands

This is incorrect because touching your face with contaminated hands can introduce microbes into your body, leading to sickness. It is important to avoid touching your face, especially your mouth, nose, and eyes, without washing your hands first. By covering your mouth and nose when sneezing, using tissues to wipe hands, and avoiding close contact with sick individuals, you can help control the transmission of microbes and prevent the spread of contagious illnesses.
