The correct option is D Tetanus
DTP stands for Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine.
Diphtheria causes a thick covering of mucus in the throat.
Tetanus causes painful tightening of the muscles, especially in the jaws.
Pertussis also called whooping cough causes coughing spells making it difficult for the child to breathe.
Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine prevents these diseases mostly throughout childhood.
Thus the correct answer is option C.
