Solution

The phrase "that which bends up" refers to the scientific meaning of the word "chikungunya," which is derived from a term in the Makonde language meaning "to become contorted" or "to bend up." This term describes the stooped appearance of individuals suffering from the disease due to the severe joint pain it causes.

Analysis

  1. Dengue: A mosquito-borne viral infection causing fever and pain, but the name does not imply bending or contortion.
  2. Mononucleosis: Also known as "mono," is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus and does not have connections to bending.
  3. Ebola: A viral hemorrhagic fever; the name does not relate to bending.
  4. Endocarditis: Inflammation of the heart's inner lining, again no relation to bending.
  5. Chikungunya: As explained, it directly translates to a description of bending or contortion due to pain.

Conclusion

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is:

E) Chikungunya.
