• B. Entamoeba histolytica, amoebic dysentery
• C. Plasmodium vivax, malaria
• D. Trypanosoma gambiense, sleeping sickness

Answer 1

The correct option is B Entamoeba histolytica, amoebic dysentery

Intestinal amoebiasis is caused by a protozoan parasite, Entamoeba histolytica. The single adaptable cell can exist for extended stretches of time in the substantial entrail (colon). They enter the covering of the digestive system, causing swelling, ulcerations, and extreme loose bowels containing blood and discharge.

So, the correct option is 'Entamoeba histolytica, amoebic dysentery'.
