Answer:

The correct answer is- E.coli infection

Step-by-step explanation:

A pathogenic E.coli strain called E. coli O157: H7 can be present in the irrigation water containing a portion of sewage water, manures, and soil. They can be transferred to vegetables during irrigation or other vegetation processes.

This strain of E. coli produces powerful toxin and can cause foodborne intoxication in humans. This toxin damages the intestinal lining and causes watery and bloody diarrhea.

E. coli is also the major cause of urinary tract infection. So the correct answer is E. coli infection.
