Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Disease)	List-II (Pathogen/Genera)
(A) Amoebiasis	(I) Wuchereria
(B) Filariasis	(II) Entamoeba histolytica
(C) Ringworm	(III) Haemophilus influenzae
(D) Pneumonia	(IV) Epidermophyton

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (I)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the given question, we need to correctly match the diseases from List-I with the pathogens or genera from List-II:

List-I (Disease)	List-II (Pathogen/Genera)
(A) Amoebiasis	(I) Wuchereria
(B) Filariasis	(II) Entamoeba histolytica
(C) Ringworm	(III) Haemophilus influenzae
(D) Pneumonia	(IV) Epidermophyton

Let's match:

• Amoebiasis: This disease is caused by Entamoeba histolytica. Therefore, (A) matches with (II).
• Filariasis: This disease is caused by the genus Wuchereria. Therefore, (B) matches with (I).
• Ringworm: This is a type of dermatophytosis, mainly caused by fungi such as Epidermophyton. Therefore, (C) matches with (IV).
• Pneumonia: One of the causes of pneumonia is the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae. Therefore, (D) matches with (III).

Thus, the correct matching is (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III).

Answer 2

Let's match the diseases with their corresponding pathogens:

• Amoebiasis (A): The pathogen causing amoebiasis is Entamoeba histolytica (II).
• Filariasis (B): The pathogen causing filariasis is Wuchereria (I).
• Ringworm (C): The pathogen causing ringworm is Epidermophyton (IV).
• Pneumonia (D): The pathogen causing pneumonia is Haemophilus influenzae (III).
