• A. Infectious disease
• B. Communicable Disease
• C. Degeneration disease
• D. Deficiency disease

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Degeneration disease

Heart disease is not an infectious disease because it is not caused by a virus or bacteria or any organism. It is not a communicable disease because it is not transferred from one person to another by any means. It is not a deficiency disease because it is not due to deficiency of any chemicals like vitamins or hormones. But heart disease is a degenerative disease because heart becomes too weak or stiff to fill and pump efficiently due to conditions, such as narrowed arteries in your heart (coronary artery disease) or high blood pressure.

So, the correct answer is 'Degeneration disease'.
