Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
(A) Pneumonia — this matches (IV) Difficulty in respiration, fever, cough and headache. The bacteria infect the alveoli of the lungs, and the alveoli fill with fluid. This makes breathing difficult.
(B) Common cold — this matches (III) Nasal congestion and discharge, sore throat and headache. It is caused by rhinoviruses, which infect the nose and the respiratory passage but not the lungs.
(C) Typhoid — this matches (II) Sustained high fever, stomach pain, constipation and loss of appetite. It is caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi, which enters the intestine through contaminated food and water. The fever is high and lasts for days.
(D) Amoebiasis — this matches (I) Constipation, abdominal pain, stools with excess mucous and blood clots. It is caused by the protozoan Entamoeba histolytica, which lives in the large intestine.
