Bad breath and body smell are produced by:
A
Viruses duplicating themselves
B
Bacteria digesting food
C
Skin organs producing oils
D
A reaction between oxygen and body release
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sulfur-digesting bacteria and other microorganisms utilize sulfur compounds within food, producing hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl sulfide, and methyl mercaptan as an end product. This can make the breath smell bad and cause chronic halitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria that build up in your mouth and between your teeth produce the bad odor. Other problems in your mouth, such as gum disease, dry mouth, or cavities, may also cause it. Sinusitis or problems with your nose may be to blame. You can also have bad breath if you eat some foods, like raw onions, garlic, or cabbage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Helicobacter pylori gastric infection can be a cause of bad breath. Dentists should pay more attention to this infection and refer these patients to internists to prevent further gastrointestinal (GI) complications and probable malignancies.
