    Solution

    The word ‘incidence’ means ‘the rate at which something happens’. This is the most appropriate word here. Other words are inappropriate with respect to the context. Even when we have crossed the so-called herd immunity threshold for preventing epidemic spread, disease incidence will continue in an endemic form.
