Correct Answer - Option 2 : Athlete's foot

The correct answer is the Athlete's foot.

  •  An athlete's foot is a fungal infection.​
    • It is also called tinea pedis.
    • It occurs in people whose feet have become very sweaty while confined within tight-fitting shoes.
    • It is called athlete's foot because it's commonly seen in athletes.

  • A virus is an infectious particle that reproduces by taking control of a host cell and using it to make more viruses.
    • They can't reproduce by themselves (without a host).
    • Viruses are not considered living.
    • A virus is made up of a DNA or RNA genome inside a protein shell called a capsid.
  • Influenza is a viral infection that attacks the respiratory system i.e. nose, throat and lungs. 
    • It is commonly called flu.
    • Flu is primarily treated with rest and fluid intake to allow the body to fight the infection on its own.
    • An annual vaccine can also help prevent the flu.
  • Hepatitis is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis virus.
