Answer:A. route of exposure

Explanation:Route of exposure refers to how someone got exposed to that allergen that got them sick. There are different routes of exposure, the way in which a substance enter one's body, it can be through inhalation, ingestion, skin absorption and injection. For example inhalation occurs mostly when a substance is a chemical in the form of vapours, gases, particulates and mist.

For this reason by knowing how it entered the body the pediatrician can determine what the substance might have been.
