Which type of microorganisms can cause foodborne illness?

  1. Fungi and algae

  2. Viruses, parasites, yeasts, mould, and bacteria

  3. Spirochetes and protozoa

  4. Mycorrhizae and diatoms

The correct answer is: Viruses, parasites, yeasts, mould, and bacteria

Viruses, parasites, yeasts, mould, and bacteria are the types of microorganisms that can cause foodborne illness. These microorganisms can contaminate food and multiply if food is not handled properly, leading to illness when consumed. Fungi and algae (Option A), spirochetes and protozoa (Option C), and mycorrhizae and diatoms (Option D) are not typically known to be major causes of foodborne illness in the same way as viruses, parasites, yeasts, mould, and bacteria.
