Solution

The correct options are
B Typhoid
D Cholera
  • Influenza is a viral infection that is mostly transmitted via airborne droplets or by contact with infected persons or objects.
  • Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal infection that is transmitted by contaminated drinking water and contaminated food. It is most likely to happen after a natural disaster that disables the sewage system.
  • Typhoid is a bacterial disease that is transmitted by contaminated food and water.
  • Tuberculosis is a potentially serious infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs and is transmitted by infected droplets.
So, the correct answer is 'Typhoid and Cholera'.
