Which of the following is a communicable disease?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Measles.

Measles is the communicable disease among the given options. It is a highly contagious viral infection spread through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing. Symptoms include fever, rash, and cough. Vaccination can prevent it.

Other Options:

  1. Scurvy – Caused by vitamin C deficiency, leading to weakness and gum disease. It is non-communicable as it results from poor nutrition, not infection.

  2. Diabetes – A metabolic disorder where the body cannot regulate blood sugar. It is non-communicable and linked to genetics/lifestyle.

  3. Asthma – A chronic respiratory condition triggered by allergens or pollution. It is non-communicable and not caused by pathogens.

Only measles spreads from person to person, making it communicable.
