Answer 1

Answer:

[C] Salmonella typhi is the ans...becoz...

The bacterium Salmonella typhi (S. typhi) causes typhoid fever. The bacteria spreads through contaminated food, drink, or water. People infected with Salmonella typhi carry the bacteria in their intestinal tract and blood.

Salmonella typhi is shed (discarded from the body) in feces (stool). You may get typhoid fever if you ingest food or beverages prepared by someone who is shedding the bacteria and who does not wash their hands properly. In less developed countries, sewage containing Salmonella typhi may contaminate local water supplies.
