    Solution

    In C, replace DIED FROM with DIED OF. DIE OF is used when a person dies because of a disease, as in this case, cholera, whereas DIE FROM refers to dying as a result of an external factor such as "dying from bullet wounds" or "dying from falling off a building". Thus, B is the right answer.
