I think would be most susceptible to have mumps is the Patty.

If we review the conditions: Tina had mumps vaccine; her mother had mumps before; baby sister was breastfed, which is not a protection for mumps, and Patty wasn't vaccinated but was the one who had contact with the person who has mumps. Patty was the most vulnerable.

The main reasons for mumps are through situations where saliva was able to be passed. Such situations were sneezing, coughing, food sharing, plate use, kissing, and touching the nose or mouth of people with mumps.
