Solution

The correct option is C Common cold
A few diseases occur suddenly and last for a few days. These are known as acute diseases, such as the common cold. This condition can be treated with medical treatment or on its own.

The diseases that occur over a period of time and last longer, or even for a lifetime are called chronic diseases. Generally, if a disease lasts for more than three years it is called chronic disease.
