A

B

C

D

Answer 1

D. Food poisoning, Bacteria Vomiting, loose stools

Answer 2

I’d say D.

I was tempted on C but then I remembered that food poisoning is often caused by an infectious disease and the presence of bacteria in the stomach accompanied by vomiting and loose stools (also caused by bacteria presence in gut).

Hope this helped!
