Answer 1

Tuberculosis is caused due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is caused due to the infection of lungs due to inhaling the contaminated air.

Typhoid is mainly caused due to bacteria Salmonella typhimurium. The intestine and bloodstream of humans is the main source of proliferation of bacteria. The direct contact with the untreated water containing the feces of an infected person is the main cause of the spread of the disease.

Cholera is a disease which causes severe dehydration due to infection of the bacterium called Vibrio cholerae. Consumption of contaminated food and water mainly causes the disease.

So, the correct answer is option D.
