Answer 1

The correct option is A

Congenital

A congenital disease or birth defect is a condition existing at or before birth regardless of cause. Communicable diseases, also called infectious diseases, spread from one person to another through various agents. Non-communicable diseases are not caused by an infectious agent and are not passed from person to person. They usually progress slowly.
