Solution

The correct option is D Cholera
Consumption of contaminated fish can lead to cholera.
Cholera is caused by a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae. People usually get cholera by consuming food or water contaminated by these bacteria. It is also found in the places where there is a lack of sanitation facilities. This bacteria is basically present in the free-living cells of living organisms and also found in coastal water areas, being one of the major contaminants in the sewage.
