Solution

The correct option is C Cholera

Cholera is an infection of the small intestine caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The symptom includes large amounts of watery diarrhoea that lasts for a few days, vomiting and muscle cramps may also occur. Diarrhoea can be so severe that it leads to severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. The vaccine against cholera lasts for only 6 months, so vaccination is restored only during epidemics (rapid spread of infectious disease within a short period of time). So, the correct answer is 'Cholera'.
