Answer 1

Answer: (D)

• Communicable diseases are the diseases that can spread from one person to another by various means like by contact, through the exchange of body fluids, etc.
• Common cold can spread by sneezing in public without covering the mouth. The pathogens can then enter the body of a healthy person through the nostrils when the contaminated air is inhaled.
• Chickenpox can spread through contact by touching the fluid from the blisters of the infected person.
• Diabetes is a non-communicable disease.

So, the correct option is D.
