Answer:

Option A, Salmonella typhi

Explanation:

Salmonella typhimurium, shortened to Salmonella typhi, is a serotype of a Salmonella bacteria responsible for causing a condition known as Typhoid fever. Typhoid fever is a communicable disease that can be contracted through consuming infected food sources that are not properly cooked; ingesting infected and or untreated water, unpasteurized milks, or affected juices; or inadequate hand-washing following contact with fecal material or urine, such as commonly-touched objects.

Because a case of this condition can be indicative of tainted water, food, and drink sources, it constitutes a public health concern requiring careful tracing to the source and notifying those who may possibly have contracted the same condition.

Therefore, an incidence of Salmonella typhi  must be reported to the manager and to the health department, option A.

Why Not Other Options:

The likelihood of osteoporosis or warts being individually caused by a pathogen designated as a public health concern is low, hence why their incidences are not reported. Though bronchitis can be caused by pathogens of public health concern (e.g. SARS CoV-2), it can also be caused by a myriad of other circumstances. Thus, every case of bronchitis should not necessarily be reported to the health department.
