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.
