Solution
The correct option is A Enteritis
Enteritis is the inflammation of your small intestine. In some cases, the inflammation includes the stomach and large intestine.
Ingesting food and water contaminated with bacteria is a leading cause of enteritis. Contributing factors are inadequate hygiene and improper handling of food. You are more likely to contract enteritis when travelling to places with poor sanitation and substandard hygienic practices.
