Solution

The correct option is C Polio
Poliomyelitis, sometimes known as polio, is a viral infection caused by the poliovirus. Polio is spread through drinking contaminated water or eating contaminated food, or by coming into contact with an infected individual. Many people infected with the poliovirus do not get sick and show no signs or symptoms. Those who do fall ill, however, develop paralysis, which can be fatal.
