Solution

The correct option is D
Common cold

Some diseases last for only very short periods of time, and these are called acute diseases. We all know from experience that the common cold lasts only a few days. Other ailments can last for a long time, even as much as a lifetime and are called chronic diseases. An example of chronic diseases is an infection causing elephantiasis, which is very common in some parts of India.
