The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Lymphangitis (A) refers to the inflammation of lymph vessels caused by infections or other conditions. This matches with Option III (Inflammation in lymph vessels). 
Step 2: Lymphadenitis (B) refers to the inflammation of lymph glands. It is commonly caused by infections, and it corresponds with Option I (Inflammation in lymph glands). 
Step 3: Hypnozoites (C) are a dormant stage of Plasmodium, the parasite that causes malaria. Hypnozoites remain dormant in the liver and later reactivate to cause malaria. This corresponds with Option V (Plasmodium). 
Step 4: Liver abscesses (D) are localized collections of pus in the liver, often caused by bacterial infections such as Entamoeba histolytica, the amoeba that causes amoebic liver abscesses. This matches with Option II (Entamoeba). 
Conclusion: The correct matching is:
A-III (Lymphangitis — Inflammation in lymph vessels)
B-I (Lymphadenitis — Inflammation in lymph glands)
C-V (Hypnozoites — Plasmodium)
D-II (Liver abscesses — Entamoeba)
