Solution

The correct option is A Cholera
Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. This bacteria is usually found in food or water contaminated by the feces of an infected person.
This is most likely to happen when sewage water mixes with a source of drinking water. Drinking water after boiling helps to prevent this infection.
Common cold and tuberculosis are air-borne diseases.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
