Is antigenic shift alone likely to lead to influenza pandemics?

A. Yes-ONLY antigenic shift can lead to the large-scale mixing of gene elements required to produce a pandemic flu strain. B. No-ONLY antigenic DRIFT can lead to the large-scale mixing of gene elements required to produce a pandemic flu strain. C. Perhaps-but it would most likely be a mixture of antigenic shift AND drift that would result in a pandemic strain. D. No-antigenic SHIFT is responsible for changes in the hemagglutinin protein, while antigenic DRIFT is responsible for changes in the neuraminidase protein. You must have changes in both to lead to a pandemic strain.
