Option (c) is given as “septicemia”.
Explanation of Solution
Justify the reason for the correct statement:
Sepsis is also known as septicemia is a cardiovascular condition caused by many bacteria and few
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Justify the reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “viremia”.
It is the presence of virus in the blood. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (b) is given as “bacteremia”.
It referrers to the appearance of bacteria in the blood which does not correspond to their growth. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as “fungemia”.
It is the presence of only fungi in the blood. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect.
When bacteria grow and flourish in the bloodstream then this condition is referred to as septicemia.
