The correct options are
A

Lack of hygiene


B

Improper garbage disposal


D

Overpopulation


The main causes for the proliferation of diseases are lack of hygiene, overpopulation and improper garbage disposal. Lack of personal and public hygiene, and improper garbage disposal causes accumulation of disease-carrying vectors such as flies and mosquitos causing pathogens to spread and affect us. Overpopulation makes it easier for communicable diseases to spread from an infected person to other healthy people as they move in close quarters within crowded areas.
