Explanation:

Question 17

The word part "diphtheri - " is related to the appearance of the membrane in diphtheria, and its meaning is "glowing white" (referring to the characteristic pseudomembrane in diphtheria that has a glowing - white appearance). "Cough" is not related to this word part, "mouth" and "membrane" are not the correct definitions for "diphtheri - ".

Rickettsia can cause pneumonia (specifically some types of rickettsial pneumonia). Climate is an environmental factor and not a direct cause of pneumonia. Genetics may predispose a person to certain infections but is not a direct cause of pneumonia. Helminthiasis or Ascariasis are worm - related infections and do not cause pneumonia.

Answer:

B. glowing white
