Patrick Frost · Answer 1

Option d) Improbable

Explanation:

People in Improbable group have acute onset of shock, vomiting and diarrhea. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) symptoms like that suggest patients are exposed to radiations which is lethal for them. These patients will not fall under the category of survivors.
