Botulinum neurotoxin could be disseminated as a military or terrorist weapon via aerosol, or by contamination of water or food supplies.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Only aerosol
• D. Only water contamination

Answer: (B)

Dissemination routes for botulinum neurotoxin include both airborne spread and contamination of consumables. The toxin can be released as an aerosol to be inhaled, potentially causing inhalational botulism, and it can also be introduced into water or food supplies, leading to ingestion of the toxin. Because both methods are plausible and recognized in threat assessments, the statement is true. Limiting to only one route would ignore other viable means of weaponization, and denying any dissemination route would understate the risk.
