Correct Answer :

Option D

(a) - (iii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (ii)

(a) - (iii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (ii)

Solution :

The correct option is (a) - (iii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (ii).

To match List-I (Diseases) with List-II (Pathogens/Causative Organisms), let's examine each pair step-by-step:

(a) Filariasis: This disease is also known as Elephantiasis and is caused by the filarial roundworm Wuchereria bancrofti (as well as Wuchereria malayi). Thus, (a) matches with (iii).

(b) Amoebiasis: This is a parasitic infection of the intestines, also known as amoebic dysentery, caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Thus, (b) matches with (iv).

(c) Pneumonia: This is an infection of the lungs, commonly caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. Thus, (c) matches with (i).

(d) Ringworm: This is a common fungal skin infection caused by fungi belonging to genera like Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton. Thus, (d) matches with (ii).

Combining these findings, we get:
• (a) → (iii)
• (b) → (iv)
• (c) → (i)
• (d) → (ii)
