Solution
The correct option is D Syphilis
Medicine is the science or practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Arsenic based structures produce less toxic substances for the treatment of syphilis. Salvarsan was the first effective treatment discovered for syphilis. Although salvarsan is toxic to human beings, its effect on the bacteria, spirochete, which causes syphilis is much greater than on human beings.
