Solution
The correct option is D Food poisoning
Food poisoning is caused either by one of a number of viruses or the bacteria Salmonella typhimurium or S.enteritidis. It is spread by contact with an infected person or via food which has been handled by an infected person. The bacterial form may also come from animals, e.g. chickens, which carry the bacteria. Whereas scurvy is caused due to deficiency of vitamin C, diabetes is a metabolic disorder caused either by insufficient production of insulin and cancer occurs when the normal control of cell division in a tissue fails. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
