A
2 only
B
1 only
C
Neither 1 nor 2
D
Both 1 and 2
Correct answer: (a) 2 only
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect because rabies is caused by an RNA virus, not a DNA virus, belonging to the Rhabdoviridae family. Statement 2 is correct as Post-Exposure Prophylaxis is indeed the immediate medical treatment administered following virus exposure to prevent the onset of illness. Thus, only statement 2 is correct.
