Answer 1

The correct option is D Collecting and clearing garbage cans on the streets regularly helps prevent the spread of diseases.

Collecting and cleaning of garbage cans on the street regularly helps prevent the spread of diseases, as waste and decaying matter provides nutrients for pathogens. Accumulation of waste and stagnation of dirty water leads to the breeding of vectors. Even if a person maintains personal hygiene, the hygiene of the public and cleanliness of his surroundings play a pivotal role in one's personal health.
