B, C, D, and E can all be done at the same time.
Looking back at it, I'm not sure this was a particularly good question :? . Your turn.

What's the difference between the three main types of influenza viruses?
Influenza A: categorized into subtypes, which are based off of the variations in the virus's surface proteins (hemagglutinin and neuraminidase) and into lineages; is usually the virus behind the "flu season" and has caused pandemics
Influenza B: categorized into lineages and strains, causes symptoms similar to those of Influenza A
Influenza C: causes the mildest symptoms, are not thought to have caused any pandemics
