The correct option is B Trypanosoma, Plasmodium, Entamoeba
There are many diseases caused by protozoan parasites. Malaria is a disease caused by the protozoan Plasmodium. Sleeping sickness is a disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei. The disease is endemic to Africa and the parasite is spread by the infected tsetse flies, a species native to Africa.
