Two Nervous System Diseases Are Food-Borne, Botulism Caused by Clostridium

Two nervous system diseases are food-borne, botulism caused by Clostridium botulinum and listeriosis, a form of meningitis, caused by Listeria monocytogenes. These diseases differ in that_______,

A) botulism has a very high mortality rate (~50%) , whereas listeriosis is readily cured by a course of antibiotics
B) listeriosis primarily affects pregnant women, whereas botulism can affect anyone
C) listeriosis is associated with contaminated low-acid vegetables, whereas botulism is associated with contaminated infant formula
D) botulism results from an intoxication, whereas listeriosis is an infection
