Solution

The correct answer to the question "A state of inactive infection is called Blank____." is latency.

Explanation:

  1. Carrier refers to an organism that harbors pathogens without showing symptoms, but they are not in an inactive state.

  2. Latency is the correct term that describes a period where the infection is present but not active, meaning the bacteria or virus are inactive in the host.

  3. Reservoir refers to the natural host or habitat of the pathogen, not specifically the state of inactivity.

  4. Sequelae are conditions resulting from a previous disease or injury and are not related to the state of inactivity of an infection.

In context, latency is often used to describe situations in which the disease can reactivate later under certain conditions.
