Answers (1)

Solution: Air-borne diseases are caused by releasing disease-causing microbes into athe ir. Sneezing or coughing releases disease-causing microbes into the air from an infected person which is in turn inhaled by a healthy person causing illness. This causes communicable diseases where the microbes initiate a new infection. The overcrowded and poorly ventilated house will likely lead to infections from an infected person to other household members.

Hence, the correct answer is C.
