The correct option is A Entamoeba histolytica
Amoebiasis is a parasitic infection of the intestines caused by the protozoan Entamoeba histolytica, or E. histolytica. The symptoms of amebiasis include loose stool, abdominal cramping, and stomach pain. However, most people with amoebiasis won’t experience significant symptoms.
