Question

Match the following:

 

• A. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-V
• B. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-V
• C. A-V, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• D. A-IV, B-V, C-I, D-III

Hint:

- Parasitic castration occurs when parasites suppress host reproduction (e.g., Sacculina in crabs).
- Neoplasia refers to abnormal cell growth, often linked to viral infections.
- Hyperplasia involves increased cell numbers, commonly due to parasitic infections like Fasciola hepatica.
- Hypertrophy results from cell enlargement, often seen in Plasmodium infections.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Understanding the Terms
Parasitic castration (A) is caused by Sacculina, a parasitic barnacle that affects crabs → (II).
Neoplasia (B) refers to abnormal and uncontrolled tissue growth, often triggered by some viruses → (IV).
Hyperplasia (C) is an increase in the number of cells, which occurs in infections by Fasciola hepatica → (I).
Hypertrophy (D) is the enlargement of cells, which can be caused by Plasmodium infections → (V).
Step 2: Correct Pairing
Thus, the correct match is:

\[ \textbf{A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-V.} \]
