The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which pair exhibits hyperplasia and hypertrophy, we will analyze the options provided and understand the definitions of hyperplasia and hypertrophy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Terms**: - **Hyperplasia**: This refers to an increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ, which often results in an increase in its size. - **Hypertrophy**: This refers to an increase in the size of the cells in a tissue or organ, leading to an increase in the overall size of that tissue or organ. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option 1**: Leishmania choica and Vitraria bancrofti - Leishmania is a protozoan parasite that causes leishmaniasis, but it does not typically cause hyperplasia or hypertrophy. - Vitraria bancrofti is not a well-known organism in this context. This pair does not exhibit hyperplasia or hypertrophy. - **Option 2**: Nosema nautibilis and Suphaspora polymorpha - Nosema is a genus of microsporidian parasites, and Suphaspora is not commonly associated with hyperplasia or hypertrophy. This pair is also incorrect. - **Option 3**: Fasciola hepatica and Plasmodium vivax - **Fasciola hepatica** (common liver fluke) is a parasitic trematode that infects the liver and can cause hyperplasia due to inflammation and increased cell numbers in the bile ducts. - **Plasmodium vivax** is a protozoan parasite that causes malaria and can lead to splenomegaly, which is an increase in the size of the spleen due to hypertrophy of the splenic cells. - This pair exhibits both hyperplasia and hypertrophy. - **Option 4**: Sacculina and Carinus manius - Sacculina is a parasitic barnacle that infects crabs, but it does not typically cause hyperplasia or hypertrophy in the same context as the previous pair. This option is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option 3: Fasciola hepatica and Plasmodium vivax**, as it is the only pair that exhibits both hyperplasia (due to Fasciola hepatica) and hypertrophy (due to Plasmodium vivax).
