Match the disease in Column I with the appropriate items (pathogen/ prevention/ treatment) in Column II.
- A = (ii), B = (iv), C = (i), D = (iii)
- A = (i), B = (ii), C = (iii), D = (iv)
- A = (ii), B = (i), C = (iii), D = (iv)
- A = (ii), B = (iii), C = (iv), D = (i)
Answer
(4) A = (ii), B = (iii), C = (iv), D = (i)
Solution
(A) Amoebiasis is caused by Entamoeba histolytica spread through contaminated food and water ⇒ use only sterilized food ⇒ A = (ii).
(B) Diphtheria is prevented by the DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus) vaccine ⇒ B = (iii).
(C) Cholera causes severe loss of water and salts through diarrhoea ⇒ treated by oral rehydration ⇒ C = (iv).
(D) Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum ⇒ D = (i).
∴ A = (ii), B = (iii), C = (iv), D = (i).
