Solution

The correct option is D 1-c, 2-b, 3-a
Cholera is a bacterial disease caused by Vibrio cholerae. It enters our bodies through contaminated water or food. It infects the cells of the intestine and releases a toxin. The toxin causes the body to secrete excess water and salts and showcase the prominant symptoms like diarrhea, fatigue, low bp, etc.

Pnemonia is a bacterial disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. It affects the lung tissue and causes inflammation. As a result of this, the patients face difficulty in breathing.

Tetanus is caused by exposure of person's wound or cut to the spores of bacterium called Clostridium tetani that might be present in the soil. Spores produce a toxin in the bloodstream that affects the nervous system causing overactivity of brain leading to symptoms like seizures, cramping, etc.
