(b) Tuberculosis
(c) Anthrax

Answer 1

(d) Influenza

Influenza, commonly known as "the flu", is an infectious disease caused by the influenza virus.

Harmful bacteria that cause bacterial infections and diseases are called pathogenic bacteria. Bacterial diseases occur when pathogenic bacteria get into the body and begin to reproduce and crowd out healthy bacteria or to grow in tissues that are normally sterile.

Harmful bacteria may also emit toxins that damage the body.

Example: diarrhoea, cholera, tuberculosis, anthrax, pneumonia, meningitis etc.
