C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct match. Tetanus toxin acts on the central nervous system to prevent the release of inhibitory factor. In botulism, the toxin binds to the axon near the neuromuscular junction and prevents the secretion of acetylcholine. Cholera toxin hampers the activity of the enzyme adenylate cyclase in the cell. Diphtheria toxin inactivates elongation factor 2.
