Correct:
B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 (A-1, B-3, C-2, D-4). This matching correctly identifies the anatomical sites targeted by specific inflammatory conditions.
- A-1 (Conjunctivitis - Eyes): Also known as pink eye, it is the inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the white part of the eye and inner eyelids.
- B-3 (Dermatitis - Skin): The root "derma" refers to skin; dermatitis is a general term for skin inflammation, including rashes and eczema.
- C-2 (Gout - Joints): Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by urate crystal deposits in the joints, commonly affecting the big toe.
- D-4 (Meningitis - Spinal Cord): Meningitis involves the inflammation of the protective membranes (meninges) covering the brain and spinal cord.
Other options are incorrect because they mismatch these established medical definitions, such as linking Conjunctivitis to joints or Dermatitis to the spinal cord.
