Solution

The correct option is D Leprosy
Leprosy is an airborne disease. It is an infectious disease that causes severe, disfiguring skin sores and nerve damage in the arms and legs. It spread via droplets in the air. When a person with the disease sneezes, coughs or even talks, droplets containing the bacteria are released into the air. The disease is spread when these air droplets are inhaled by an uninfected person. So, the correct answer is option D.
