• C. Rhizobium
• D. Salmonella

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A Escherichia coli
D Salmonella

Sometimes, some species of Salmonella present in raw poultry and eggs may get into our digestive system through improperly cooked food and cause food poisoning. Escherichia coli is naturally present in our large intestines and is beneficial to us. However, if it gets into our digestive tract through food or water contaminated with faeces, it may cause food poisoning.
