Hint:

\textbf{Homeopathic Materia Medica: Nosodes.} Nosodes represent a unique category of homeopathic remedies. Understanding their origins is crucial for appreciating their potential therapeutic applications, often related to the disease or source from which they are derived.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Nosodes are homeopathic remedies prepared from diseased tissues, secretions, or excretions. The correct matching of the nosodes in List I with their sources in List II is as follows: \begin{itemize} \item Proteus (A) is a nosode prepared from bowel nodes (II), specifically from the Proteus bacteria isolated from them. \item Pyrogenium (B) is a nosode prepared from the decomposition of meat of beef (IV) or sometimes from septic pus. \item Nectrianinum (C) is a nosode prepared from a fungus, \( \textit{Nectria ditissima} \), which causes cancer of trees (I) (canker). \item Diphtherinum (D) is a nosode prepared from the disease product of human beings (III), specifically from the Klebs-Loeffler bacillus or the diphtheritic membrane. \end{itemize} Therefore, the correct combination is (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III).
