The correct option is A Throat
Diphtheria, a respiratory disease common in children is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. This disease affects the throat whose main symptom is suffocation. It is characterized by oozing of semisolid material in throat forming a tough membrane. This can block the airway and create a barking cough. It is highly infectious and spread through droplet infection and direct contact.
