Solution
The correct option is D Poliomyelitis
- Poliomyelitis, often known as polio or infantile paralysis, is an infectious disease caused by the poliovirus.
- It affects the brain and spinal cord. In about 0.5 percent of cases, there is muscle weakness resulting in an inability to move. Poliomyelitis results from viral invasion of the motor neurons of the anterior horn cells (dorsal horn cells) of the spinal cord, which are responsible for the movement of the muscle.
- Hence Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by a virus.
- So, the correct answer is 'Poliomyelitis'.
