Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Control agent is not a component of the disease tetrahedron.A disease pyramid or tetrahedron, allows for the addition of a fourth causal factor of disease. Humans factor into the disease triangle because the influence of human activity on disease is pervasive in agriculture.
