The correct option is
B

Cancer
Diseases that are transmitted through sexual contact are called sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). These are communicable diseases, caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites. Examples of STDs include AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, etc. Cancer is a non-communicable disease.
Close contact or things like sex, kissing, touching, sharing meals, or breathing the same air cannot spread cancer. Cancer cells from someone with cancer are not able to live in the body of another healthy person.
