The correct answer is: N. meningitidis, S. pneumonia, H. influenzae

The correct answer is A. N. meningitidis, S. pneumonia, H. influenzae. These bacteria are common causes of meningitis.

Choice B is incorrect because E. coli, S. aureus, and K. pneumoniae are not common causes of meningitis. Choice C is incorrect because C. difficile and S. epidermidis are not typically associated with meningitis. Choice D is incorrect because P. aeruginosa and L. monocytogenes are not common causes of meningitis.
