Answer:

The correct answer will be

1. Bacteria: Lactobacilli

2. Fungal: Candida albicans.

3. Protozoan: Trichomonas vaginalis

Explanation:

The vagnitis is the inflammation of the vaginal caused by the microbes growing in that area.

On the basis of the microbes, there are three types of vagnitis which are:

1. Bacterial vagnitis: caused by the bacteria like Lactobacilli which overgrow in the vagina after sexual intercourse.

2. Yeast infections: caused by the fungal species which outgrow like Candida albicans.

3. Trichomoniasis: caused by the one-celled parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis which is transmitted during sexual intercourse.

Thus, the selected options are the correct answer.
