2. The released bacteria float about in the air on dust, water, and respiratory droplets.
3. The illnesses that are spread through contaminated air are referred to as "airborne infections."
4. People who live in overcrowded, poorly ventilated housing may develop breathing problems and other airborne infections.
5. Infections and diseases of the respiratory system could affect the affected person.
6. Some infectious substances linger in the air for a very long time.
7. These infections may attack a contact person's immune system.
8. For instance, we could contract the disease if we enter a space that was previously occupied by a person who has the measles.

1. A phrase for conditions where aberrant cells can infect surrounding tissues and divide uncontrollably.
2. The lymphatic and vascular systems of the body are further routes by which cancer cells might spread.
3. The majority of gene mutations happen after birth and are not inherited.
4. Gene mutations can be brought on by a variety of factors, including smoking, radiation, viruses, cancer-causing substances (carcinogens), obesity, hormones, chronic inflammation, and inactivity.

Option B:
