Complete Answer:
An infection occurs due to Salmonella enterica enterica, serovar Typhi, is typhoid fever, also referred to as enteric fever. Typhoid fever signs are nonspecific and can include: diarrhoea, Vomiting, Abdominal pain, Nausea, Aching muscles and Constipation.

Now, let us find the solution from the options-
- Often identified as Typhoid Mary, Mary Mallon, was an Irish-born cook thought to have infected 53 people suffering typhoid fever, three among whom died, and the first person reported as an asymptomatic bearer of the disease in the United States.
- Since she continued to work as a chef, exposing people to the disease, she was violently quarantined twice by the government and died in prison for a total of almost three decades.
- She was probably born with typhoid because during her birth her mother was affected.
- She moved to the United States at the age of fifteen.
- She stayed for a while with her aunt and uncle and served as a waitress, but finally became a chef for rich families.

Thus, the correct option is option (B) Typhoid Mary.

Note: In developed nations, typhoid fever is very widespread. The highest risk is for travelers to Africa, Latin America, and Asian nations, with the exception of Japan. There is a vaccine available. Before leaving, the safest time to get it is 2 weeks. It will lose potency after two to five years, based on the type of typhoid vaccine. But you may need a shot of a booster.
