The answer is the second one: Virus, bacteria, fungi, protozoa.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Fungi, plants, animal dander, dust: This option includes fungi, which can cause infectious diseases, but plants, animal dander, and dust are not typically infectious agents. Animal dander and dust can cause allergic reactions but not infectious diseases.

  2. Virus, bacteria, fungi, protozoa: This option lists all known infectious agents. Viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa are all capable of causing infectious diseases in humans.

  3. Cells, virus, atoms, amoeba: While viruses can cause infectious diseases, cells and atoms are not infectious agents. Amoebas can be infectious, but they are a type of protozoa, which is already covered in the second option.

  4. Sneezing, allergens, biochemicals, experiments: Sneezing is a symptom or a mode of transmission, not a cause of infectious disease. Allergens can cause allergic reactions, not infections. Biochemicals and experiments are not infectious agents.

In summary, the second option correctly lists the types of organisms that can cause infectious diseases.
