The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the causes of pneumonia, we will analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding Pneumonia**: Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid. It can be caused by various pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **A. Trichophyton**: This is a genus of fungi that primarily causes skin infections, such as athlete's foot and ringworm. It is not a known cause of pneumonia. - **B. Contact with infected person**: While pneumonia can spread through contact with infected individuals, this option does not specify the pathogen causing pneumonia. It is more of a mode of transmission rather than a cause. - **C. Streptococcus pneumoniae**: This is a type of bacteria that is a well-known cause of pneumonia. It is one of the most common bacterial pathogens responsible for community-acquired pneumonia. - **D. Haemophilus influenzae**: This is another bacterium that can cause pneumonia, particularly in children and individuals with weakened immune systems. 3. **Conclusion**: Both options C and D are correct as they are both bacterial pathogens that can cause pneumonia. However, since the question asks for the cause of pneumonia and typically highlights the most common one, the best answer would be **C. Streptococcus pneumoniae**. ### Final Answer: **C. Streptococcus pneumoniae**
