An epidemic of which of the following diseases killed at least 50 million people in the aftermath of the First World War?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The 1918 influenza pandemic, often referred to as the Spanish flu, resulted in an estimated 50 million deaths worldwide, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in history. Typhus (A) caused significant mortality, particularly in wartime conditions, but did not reach the same scale as influenza. Malaria (C) has been a persistent health issue, but it did not have a sudden epidemic peak following World War I. Tuberculosis (D) is a long-standing disease that has caused millions of deaths over time, but it did not manifest as a rapid epidemic in that specific period.
