Solution

The correct option is A Elephantiasis
A chronic condition is a human health condition that is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects. One of the examples is elephantiasis.
Elephantiasis refers to a parasitic infection that causes extreme swelling in the arms and legs. The disease is caused by the filarial worm, which is transmitted via the female culex mosquito.
Conjunctivitis, dizziness, and common cold lasts for a short course and so are called acute diseases.
