Answer 1

The correct option is C $\begin{array}{cc}\text{Acute disease}& \text{Chronic disease}\\ \text{It causes drastic ill effects on health}& \text{It doesn't cause drastic ill effects on health}\end{array}$

Acute diseases do not cause drastic ill effects on the health of an individual and after treatment the recovery is often complete while chronic diseases may have drastic ill effects on the health based on the severity of the disease.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
