(d) Symptoms include constipation, abdominal pain and cramp.

• A. All are correct
• B. $\text{a}$
• C. $\text{a,c}$
• D. $\text{c}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\text{a}$

Solution- (a)

Amoebic dysentery is a severe form of amoebiasis associated with stomach pain, bloody stools (poop), and fever. Houseflies are carriers of this disease.
Entamoeba histolytica can be transmitted by ingestion of contaminated water or food; via the fecal-oral route; or via oral, anal, and oral-genital sexual practices.
Hence, it is not a parasite of small intestine.
