Answer: C

Correct answer: situation, when patient suffering from a disease and new infection is set up from external source

A cross infection is a fresh infection acquired from an outside source by a patient already ill with something else - classically in hospital, where it is called a nosocomial or cross infection. A first infection by an organism is a primary infection, and a later one by the same organism is reinfection.
