Find out the proximate cause for death in the following scenario? Ajay falls off a horse and breaks his back. He lies there in a pool of water and contracts pneumonia. He is admitted to the hospital and dies because of pneumonia.

The correct answer is A. Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. It can be serious, especially in people with underlying health conditions. In the scenario given, Ajay falls off a horse and breaks his back. He lies there in a pool of water and contracts pneumonia. He is admitted to the hospital and dies because of pneumonia. The broken back is not the proximate cause of death, because it did not directly lead to Ajay’s death. The pneumonia is the proximate cause of death, because it was the direct cause of Ajay’s death.

The other options are incorrect because they are not the direct cause of Ajay’s death. Falling off a horse is the event that led to Ajay’s broken back, but it is not the direct cause of his death. Surgery is the treatment that was given to Ajay for his broken back, but it is not the direct cause of his death.
