Explanation:

Question 7

Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which can be found in cat feces. Pregnant women are at risk if they handle cat litter (with feces) as the parasite can be transmitted and affect the fetus. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is from ticks, Malaria from mosquitoes, and Anthrax from bacterial spores (not typically from cat feces).

A malignant tumor is one that is cancerous, grows uncontrollably, invades nearby tissues, and can be life - threatening. Benign tumors are non - cancerous and not life - threatening. Malleolus is a part of the ankle, and myoma is a type of benign tumor (usually uterine fibroids).

Answer:

B. Toxoplasmosis
