Scabies is caused by what?
A bacterial infection
A fungal infection
A viral infection
An animal Parasite
The correct answer is: An animal Parasite
Scabies is a highly contagious skin infestation caused by a tiny mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. This parasite is not caused by a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection, but rather by an infestation of these microscopic mites that burrow into the skin and lay eggs. Therefore, options A, B, and C are not correct as they refer to different types of infections. Only option D correctly identifies the cause of scabies.
