Solution

The correct option is C communicable
Communicable or contagious diseases are the ones that can spread from an infected person to a healthy individual. Flu and chickenpox are examples of communicable diseases. It can spread from one person to other through contaminated water, air, droplets or vectors and are caused by microorganisms.
Diseases that do not spread from one person to another are called non-communicable or non-contagious diseases. E.g. Cancer.
