What is the growth of parasitic organisms within the body called?

  1. Contamination

  2. Infection

  3. Inflammation

  4. Disease

The correct answer is: Infection

Infection refers to the growth of parasitic organisms within the body. This choice is correct because it specifically refers to the action of organisms growing and multiplying within the body, causing harm to the host. Contamination may seem like a possible option, but it simply means the presence of unwanted or harmful substances, not necessarily living organisms. Inflammation is a general response of the body to injury or infection, and while it can be a result of parasitic infection, it is not the term used to describe the growth of these organisms. Disease is also a possible outcome of parasitic infection, but it is a broader term and not specific to the growth of these organisms within the body. Therefore, the best answer to this question is B Infection.
