Explanation:

Question 1

Malaria is caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Euglena is a photosynthetic protist, Paramecium is a ciliate, and Trypanosoma causes sleeping sickness, not malaria.

Flukes (trematodes) are flatworms, which belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes. Nematoda are roundworms, Rotifera are wheel animals, and Annelida are segmented worms.

Candida albicans is the most common cause of human yeast infections. Blastomyces dermatitidis causes blastomycosis, Cryptococcus neoformans causes cryptococcosis, and Aspergillus fumigatus causes aspergillosis.

Answer:

c. Plasmodium
