• A. Diarrhoea
• B. Cholera
• C. Both A and B
  
• D. Diarrhoea, Cholera and Dysentry

Answer 1

The correct option is D Diarrhoea, Cholera and Dysentry

• Cholera is an infection of the small intestine. The symptom includes large amounts of watery diarrhoea that lasts a few days, vomiting and muscle cramps may also occur. Diarrhoea can be so severe that it leads to severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
• Diarrhoea is the condition of having at least three loose or liquid bowel movements each day. It often lasts for a few days and can result in dehydration due to fluid loss.
• Dysentery is an inflammatory disease of the intestine, especially of the colon, which always results in severe diarrhoea and abdominal pains.
  
• Hence, rehydration therapy is a must for diarrhoea, cholera and dysentery.

So, the correct answer is 'Diarrhoea, Cholera and Dysentery'.
