Solution
The correct option is C Tetanus
A person getting bruised with a rusted nail is at risk of developing tetanus. It is caused by a bacterium found in soil, dust, faeces and on even on the surface of the skin. The bacteria only reproduce in the absence of oxygen. Any deep wound can become a breeding ground for this pathogen. Tetanus is a potentially fatal disease that affects the nerves. It has no cure. A vaccine can easily prevent the infection.
