Solution

The correct option is C Air borne diseases
Many microbial agents can commonly move from an affected person to someone else in a variety of ways. Such disease-causing microbes can spread through the air. This occurs through the little droplets thrown out by an infected person who sneezes or coughs. Someone standing close by can breathe in these droplets, and the microbes get a chance to start a new infection. Examples of such diseases spread through the air are the common cold, pneumonia and tuberculosis. Obviously, the more crowded our living conditions are, the more likely it is that such airborne diseases will spread.
Hence the correct option is C.
Cancer is non-communicable, AIDS spreads via body fluids, and cholera spreads through infected water.
