The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Typhoid is caused by Salmonella typhi — affects intestines, especially Peyer’s patches.
Step 2: These ulcerate and may perforate, leading to life-threatening peritonitis.
Step 3: Asthma and arthritis are not typical complications. Otitis is unrelated.
Hence, answer is (A) Intestinal perforation.
