the size and the distance.

distance: according to EBP, you can put two droplet patients in the sane room as far as they are 3 feet away but for Airborne, you cant because they traveled as far as they want to thats why they have airborne patients always have their own private (strict isolation) room (no cohort ever)

I hope this helps. so the answer is C abd they are both virulent
