Correct Answer
(A) A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (A) A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II Solution: Typhoid is a bacterial disease (Salmonella typhi) (A-IV). Leishmaniasis is caused by a protozoan (B-III). Ringworm is caused by fungi such as Microsporum (C-I). Filariasis/elephantiasis is caused by Wuchereria, a filarial (nematode) worm (D-II). Why others are wrong: Assigning typhoid to a protozoan/nematode or ringworm to bacteria/nematode breaks the pathogen-group links; only A is fully consistent with NCERT. NCERT Reference: NCERT Ch7, p.130-133, lines (p130) 40-41, (p133) 16-27: "Many fungi belonging to the genera Microsporum"
