The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which one is incorrect?", we need to analyze each option provided and determine if the statements about each organism are accurate or not. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Option 1: Plasmodium falciparum** - Plasmodium falciparum is indeed a parasitic protozoan that causes malaria in humans. - It has two hosts: the female Anopheles mosquito (where sexual reproduction occurs) and humans (where asexual reproduction occurs). - Other species of Plasmodium, such as Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium vivax, can enter a dormant stage in the liver, leading to relapsing malaria. - However, Plasmodium falciparum does not cause relapsing malaria; it is known for being fatal. - Therefore, the statement regarding Plasmodium falciparum is incorrect. 2. **Analyze Option 2: Trypanosoma gambiense** - Trypanosoma gambiense is a protozoan that causes sleeping sickness, transmitted by the tsetse fly (Glossina). - The description of how it infects the body and causes symptoms like swollen lymph nodes (Winterbottom's sign) is accurate. - Thus, this option is correct. 3. **Analyze Option 3: Wuchereria bancrofti** - Wuchereria bancrofti is a nematode that causes elephantiasis (filariasis). - It is transmitted by mosquitoes, specifically the Culex mosquito, and is characterized by the enlargement of limbs. - The information provided about this organism is correct. 4. **Analyze Option 4: Entamoeba histolytica** - Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan that causes amoebic dysentery (amoebiasis). - The infective stage is the quadranucleate cyst, which is indeed found in the colon. - This description is also accurate. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all the options, we find that the incorrect statement is in **Option 1: Plasmodium falciparum**. ### Final Answer: The incorrect option is **Option 1: Plasmodium falciparum**. ---
