Solution

To determine which disease the given statements are true for, let's analyze each statement step by step:

(a) Salmonella is a pathogenic bacterium: This statement indicates that the disease in question is caused by the Salmonella bacterium.

(b) Sustained high fever (39°C to 40°C): This symptom suggests that the disease is characterized by a prolonged high fever within the range of 39°C to 40°C.

(c) Intestinal perforation in severe cases: This statement implies that in severe cases of the disease, there can be intestinal perforation.

(d) Confirmed by "widal test": The Widal test is a diagnostic test used to detect antibodies against Salmonella bacteria. This statement suggests that the disease can be confirmed using the Widal test.

(e) "Marry Mallon" was a carrier: This statement indicates that there was a carrier named "Marry Mallon" associated with the disease.

Based on these statements, the disease that fits all the given criteria is Typhoid (C). Typhoid is caused by the pathogenic bacterium Salmonella, it is characterized by sustained high fever, can lead to intestinal perforation in severe cases, can be confirmed by the Widal test, and "Marry Mallon" was a famous carrier of Typhoid.

Therefore, the correct answer is C) Typhoid.
