A new diagnostic test for a rare disease is being evaluated. It correctly identifies 95% of individuals who truly have the disease, and correctly identifies 90% of individuals who do not have the disease. What do these percentages represent, respectively?

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Sensitivity is the proportion of true positives correctly identified (95% in this case). Specificity is the proportion of true negatives correctly identified (90% in this case). These are intrinsic properties of a diagnostic test.
