A) a-(ii), b-(iii), c-(iv), d-(i)
B) a-(i), b-(ii), c-(iii), d-(iv)
C) a-(ii), b-(iv), c-(i), d-(iii)
D) a-(ii), b-(i), c-(iii), d-(iv)
Explanation
[Solution from source] Amoebiasis spreads through contaminated food and water, so sterilised food and water prevent it; diphtheria is prevented by the DPT vaccine; cholera dehydration is treated with oral rehydration; and syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum. Treponema is a bacterium, not the cause of amoebiasis. Answer (1).
