What does the acronym ID stand for?

  1. Intra dermal

  2. Intellectual disability

  3. Infectious disease

  4. Intra diameter

The correct answer is: Intra dermal

ID typically stands for Intra dermal, which refers to a type of injection of medication or other substance that is given just beneath the skin surface. It is not typically used to refer to intellectual disability (B) or infectious disease (C), although it is important to note that those terms can also be abbreviated as ID. Intra diameter (D) is not a common medical term.
