Explanation:

Question 16

Botulism is caused by the toxin from Clostridium botulinum, which thrives in anaerobic environments like improperly canned foods. Staphylococcus is from contaminated hands/food, Hepatitis A from fecal - oral, Listeria from contaminated ready - to - eat foods. So Botulism is associated with improperly canned foods.

Hepatitis A is spread through the fecal - oral route, meaning it can be spread via fecal matter (e.g., contaminated water/food). Botulism is from improper canning, Listeria from ready - to - eat foods, Staphylococcus from contaminated hands/food. So Hepatitis A is spread through fecal matter.

Norovirus is highly contagious and spreads through vomit and fecal matter (fecal - oral route, and vomit can aerosolize the virus). Staphylococcus from contaminated hands/food, Listeria from ready - to - eat foods, Campylobacter from contaminated poultry/raw milk. So Norovirus spreads through vomit and fecal matter.

B. Botulism
