Solution

The correct option is C Tetanus
Tetanus:

Tetanus is caused by the Clostridium tetani, the spores of which are found in the soil. This organism produces a neurotoxin called tetanospasmin that acts on the neuromuscular junction of muscles causing spasms of jaw and face.

Diarrhoea:

Diarrhoea is a disorder of the digestive system characterised by frequent loose motions.

Jaundice:

Jaundice has many causes, including hepatitis, gallstones, and tumors affecting the liver. The skin, eye white, and mucous membranes turn yellow because of high levels of bilirubin (bile pigment).

Dysentery:

Dysentery is an infection of the intestines that causes diarrhoea containing blood and mucus. It is also known as amoebic dysentery and is caused by a protozoan Entamoeba histolytica.

Final answer:

a. Tetanus
