Which foodborne illness is caused by a virus?

  1. Botulism

  2. Hepatitis A

  3. Salmonellosis

  4. E. coli infection

The correct answer is: Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A is the correct answer because it is the foodborne illness caused by a virus. Hepatitis A is a viral infection that affects the liver and can be transmitted through contaminated food or water. Botulism (choice A) is caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, not a virus. Salmonellosis (choice C) is caused by the bacterium Salmonella, not a virus. E. coli infection (choice D) is caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli, not a virus. Therefore, among the options provided, Hepatitis A is the only foodborne illness caused by a virus.
