Which of the following correctly matches vesicular diseases with their virus families?

The main idea is matching each vesicular disease with the correct virus family based on established taxonomy. Foot-and-mouth disease is caused by Foot-and-mouth disease virus, a picornavirus in the Picornaviridae family. Vesicular Exanthema of Swine is caused by a calicivirus, belonging to the Caliciviridae family. Vesicular Stomatitis is caused by Vesicular Stomatitis Virus, a rhabdovirus in the Rhabdoviridae family. Swine Vesicular Disease is caused by Swine Vesicular Disease Virus, a picornavirus (Picornaviridae). So the correct pairing places Foot-and-mouth disease with picornavirus, Vesicular Exanthema of Swine with calicivirus, Vesicular Stomatitis with rhabdovirus, and Swine Vesicular Disease with picornavirus. The other options misplace one or more diseases in the wrong viral family (for example, assigning Foot-and-mouth disease to orthomyxoviridae or Vesicular Stomatitis to togaviridae).
