Solution
The correct option is B AIDS and cancer Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms — such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. AIDS which is caused by HIV is an infectious disease.
Noninfectious or intrinsic, diseases are neither contagious nor communicable. They arise from inside the body as a result of hereditary conditions or other causes, such as dietary deficiencies. Cancer is an example of non-infectious disease. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
