Droplet contamination frequently occurs via what action?

Coughing
Wiping
Touching
Sneezing

The correct answer is: Coughing

Droplet contamination primarily occurs during actions that expel respiratory droplets into the air, typically involving the respiratory system. Coughing is one of the most common methods through which respiratory droplets are spread, as it forcefully releases droplets containing pathogens into the environment. These droplets can then be inhaled or come into contact with surfaces and other individuals, leading to the transmission of infections. While sneezing also releases droplets and can be a significant source of contamination, coughing is often more frequent and can occur in various situations, making it a particularly notable mode of droplet spread. Touching and wiping, on the other hand, relate more to surface contamination rather than directly expelling droplets into the air. Thus, the emphasis on coughing highlights its role as a primary mechanism for droplet contamination.
