Amebic dysentery is caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Its mode of action involves invading the intestinal lining and secreting enzymes that cause loss of fluid. If left untreated, it can also cause abscesses on the liver and other organs. Option A is incorrect as amebic dysentery primarily affects the intestines rather than the liver. Option B is incorrect as it describes the mode of action of the causative agent of malaria, not amebic dysentery. Option D is incorrect as the causative agent of amebic dysentery does not invade the brain. Option E is incorrect as option C is the only correct answer.
