Solution

The correct option is C Chlorea
  • Cholera is caused due to the infection of the bacteriumVibrio cholerae.
  • There is heavy loss of water and electrolytes from the body of the infected person.
  • Due to severe diarrhoea, there is complete removal of the food from bowel, which results in blood acidity levels to rise.
  • The plasma is the fluid part of the blood which gets decreased in volume due to loss of water.
  • There is an increase in the concentration of RBCS compared to plasma, which is known as haemoconcentration.
  • The level of haemoconcentration increases with the infection.
  • Thus, the correct answer is option B.
