Solution

The correct option is A True
There are certain diseases like tuberculosis, which are caught merely by being in a confined place with the infected person. The infected person throws out tiny droplets (droplet nuclei, size 1-5 micron in diameter) of mucus by either coughing, sneezing, etc. These droplets may carry the pathogen. If these droplets are inhaled by a healthy person it can result in disease.
