Answer 1

Hint:-A disease is defined as the unusual condition which adversely affects the function and the structure of an organism. There are mainly four factors that characterise a disease i.e. infection, deficiency, hereditary (comprises both genetic and non-genetic causes) and physiological. A disease is not caused by any immediate external injury.

Complete step-by-step solution:-
The meaning of congenital in simple words is “by birth”. A congenital disease is defined as the abnormality of function and structure of an organism that is present from birth, regardless of the cause. These are also known as birth defects.
The diseases which cannot be transmitted directly from one person to another are known as non communicable diseases. Examples of such diseases are autoimmune diseases, cataract, diabetes, heart and lung diseases.
Communicable diseases are the diseases that can spread directly from one person to another through many modes like being bitten by an insect, contact with airborne pathogens such as viruses, fungi etc. These diseases result in a large number of organisms getting sick. They are severely infectious diseases. Examples of communicable diseases include HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), malaria, Hepatitis A, B & C, measles, salmonella and many other food-borne diseases.
So, the correct answer is C .i.e., communicable diseases.

Note:-
Some diseases are also chronic diseases and are liable for 70% of deaths worldwide. There are many techniques invented to check babies who have such disorders. Communicable diseases can cause epidemics and pandemics. Covid-19 is one such communicable disease and is caused by the corona virus and has created a worldwide pandemic.
