Solution

The correct option is A Bacteria
Explanation: Tuberculosis, commonly known as TB, is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that can spread through the lymph nodes and bloodstream to any organ in your body. It is most often found in the lungs. Most people who are exposed to TB never develop symptoms because the bacteria can live in an inactive form in the body.
