Epidemic 4. Pandemic **Explanation:** - **Endemic:** Refers to the constant presence of a disease within a certain geographic area or population group. - **Sporadic:** Describes diseases that occur infrequently and irregularly. - **Epidemic:** Refers to an increase in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in a specific area or among a specific group of people. - **Pandemic:** Refers to an epidemic that has spread over several countries or continents, usually affecting a large number of people.
