Solution

The correct option is A Tuberculosis
Gopal lives in a room that lacks ventilation, so he has higher chances of getting affected by air borne diseases like tuberculosis. Since he has access to filtered drinking water, it is less likely that he will be affected by waterborne diseases such as dysentery, cholera, and diarrhoea.
