Solution

The correct option is D Chickenpox
Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a highly contagious disease caused by the initial infection with varicella zoster virus. The disease results in a characteristic skin rash that forms small, itchy blisters, which eventually spreads. It usually starts on the chest, back, and face then spreads to the rest of the body. Other symptoms may include fever, tiredness, and headaches. The varicella vaccine has resulted in a decrease in the number of cases and complications from the disease. A vaccinated person is likely to have a milder case of chickenpox if they become infected.
So, the correct answer is 'Chickenpox'.
