Solution

The correct option is A Virus
  • Smallpox is an acute, contagious disease unique to humans, caused by either of two virus variants, Variola major and Variola minor.
  • Symptoms include high fever, chills, headache, severe back pain, abdominal pain, vomiting. These symptoms would go away within two to three days.
  • Then the patient would feel better. However, just as the patient started to feel better, a rash would appear. The rash started on the face and then spread to the hands, forearms, and the main part of the body.

So, the correct answer is 'Virus'.
