Ringworm is caused by a/an:

Virus
Bacteria
Plant parasite
Insect

The correct answer is: Plant parasite

Ringworm, despite its name, is not actually caused by a worm. It is a fungal infection that affects the skin, scalp, and nails. A common misconception is that it is caused by a virus or bacteria, but these microorganisms are not responsible for ringworm. Insects, such as ticks and fleas, can transmit it, but they are not the direct cause of the infection. Similarly, while some plant parasites can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, they are not the source of ringworm. Therefore, the only correct answer is C Plant parasite.
