Of the following, which is a fomite is b. droplets from a sneeze

What are fomites?

Fomite transmission is respiratory secretions or droplets secreted by infected individuals that can contaminate surfaces and objects, creating fomites (contaminated surfaces). Transmission can also occur indirectly by touching surfaces in the immediate environment or objects contaminated with the virus from an infected person, such as a stethoscope or thermometer, followed by touching the mouth, nose, or eyes.

Some viruses or bacteria are known to survive for a long time on certain surfaces. If we touch the surface of a contaminated object, then touch our face (eyes or mouth) with dirty hands, this has the potential to transmit disease.
