Solution

The correct option is B Swine Flu
Swine Flu is a respiratory disease caused by influenza virus. The virus affects the respiratory tract of pigs and can be transmitted to humans through any contact with pigs.
  • It is an air borne disease and so can be transmitted from an infected person to a healthy human when respiratory droplets released while coughing or sneezing are inhaled.
  • It can spread through saliva. So sharing food or kissing is not advisable at all.
  • Skin to skin contact or contact with a contaminated surface can be one of the causes too.
