Answer 1

The correct option is D Infects alveoli while common cold affects nose and respiratory passage but not lungs

• Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung affecting primarily the small air sacs known as alveoli. Typically symptoms include some combination of a productive or a dry cough, chest pain, fever, and trouble breathing.
  
• The common cold, also known simply as a cold is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract that primarily affects the nose. The throat, sinuses, and larynx may also be affected.
  

So, the correct answer is 'Infects alveoli while the common cold affects the nose and respiratory passage but not lungs'.
