Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the given matching problem, we need to correctly associate diseases from List-I with their causative agents from List-II.

1. Filariasis: - This disease is caused by the parasitic worms Wuchereria bancrofti or Brugia malayi, which are transmitted by mosquito vectors. - Therefore, the correct match is (a) - (iii) Wuchereria bancrofti.
2. Amoebiasis: - This is caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, which leads to symptoms such as severe diarrhea and abdominal pain. - Hence, the correct match is (b) - (iv) Entamoeba histolytica.
3. Pneumonia: - An inflammatory condition of the lungs, pneumonia can be caused by several organisms, with one of them being the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae. - Thus, the correct match is (c) - (i) Haemophilus influenzae.
4. Ringworm: - This is a fungal infection of the skin, often caused by dermatophytes like Trichophyton species. - Therefore, the correct match here is (d) - (ii) Trichophyton.

Based on the correct matches, the answer is: 

(a) - Filariasis	(iii) - Wuchereria bancrofti
(b) - Amoebiasis	(iv) - Entamoeba histolytica
(c) - Pneumonia	(i) - Haemophilus influenzae
(d) - Ringworm	(ii) - Trichophyton

The correct option is therefore (iii) (iv) (i) (ii).
