Which one of the following sets of items are correctly categorised with one exception in it?

| | Items | Category | Exception | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | (a) | Kangaroo, Koala, Wombat | Australian Marsupials | Wombat | | (b) | Plasmodium, Cuscuta, Trypanosoma | Protozoan parasites | Cuscuta | | (c) | Typhoid, Pneumonia, Diphtheria | Bacterial diseases | Diphtheria | | (d) | UAA, UAG, UGA | Stop codons | UAG |

A

Kangaroo, Koala, Wombat – Australian Marsupials – Wombat

B

Plasmodium, Cuscuta, Trypanosoma – Protozoan Parasites – Cuscuta

C

Typhoid, Pneumonia, Diphtheria – Bacterial Diseases – Diphtheria

D

UAA, UAG, UGA – Stop Codons – UAG

Step-by-Step Solution

Based on the biological classifications provided in the sources, option B is correctly categorised with a valid exception:

  • Items & Category: Plasmodium and Trypanosoma are both identified in the sources as protozoan parasites; Trypanosoma is a flagellated protozoan and Plasmodium is a sporozoan .
  • Exception: Cuscuta is identified as a member of Kingdom Plantae and is a parasitic plant . While all three items are parasites, Cuscuta is the exception because it is not a protozoan. Other options are incorrect because: Option A: All three (Kangaroo, Koala, Wombat) are Australian marsupials [outside of sources; Kangaroo/Macropus is noted as a mammal in 273], so Wombat is not an exception. Option C: Typhoid and Pneumonia are confirmed as bacterial diseases , and Diphtheria is also a known bacterial disease often grouped with them ; thus, there is no exception to the category.
  • Option D: The sources explicitly state that UAA, UAG, and UGA are all stop (terminator) codons , meaning UAG is not an exception to that category.
