If you live in an overcrowded and poorly ventilated house, it is possible that you may suffer from which of the following diseases

(a) Cancer

(b) AIDS

(c) Airborne diseases

(d) Cholera

Answers (1)

Answer: C

Solution: Air-borne diseases are caused by releasing disease-causing microbes into air. 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 disease where the microbes initiate a new infection. It is highly likely that the overcrowded and poorly ventilated house will lead to the infections from an infected person to other household members.

Hence, the correct answer is C.
