Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Diseases)	List-II (Pathogen)
(A) Pneumonia	(I) Wuchereria bancrofti
(B) Typhoid	(II) Microsporum
(C) Ringworm	(III) Salmonella
(D) Elephantiasis	(IV) Haemophilus influenzae

• A. (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
• B. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
• C. (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
• D. (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Accurate matching of List-I (Diseases) to List-II (Pathogens) requires identifying the pathogen responsible for each disease.

• Pneumonia is predominantly caused by the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, establishing the match (A)-(IV).
• Typhoid is attributed to the bacterium Salmonella, resulting in the match (B)-(III).
• Ringworm, a fungal infection, is commonly caused by Microsporum, thus matching (C)-(II).
• Elephantiasis is a condition resulting from infection by the parasitic worm Wuchereria bancrofti, leading to the match (D)-(I).

Consequently, the correct pairings are (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), and (D)-(I).
