The correct option is C Diphtheria
Diseases like common cold, diphtheria, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc., spread through air. Pathogens are released in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. A healthy person gets infected when he/she breathes the same air. Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes and cholera spreads through water.
