Communicable means?

• A. Easily spread from one person to another
• B. Only spread in air
• C. Does not infect humans
• D. Always fatal

Answer: (A)

Communicable describes diseases that can be transmitted from one person to another. The best answer captures that idea by saying it is easily spread from one person to another, reflecting that the illness can pass through direct contact, droplets, contaminated surfaces, or other transmission routes. It’s not limited to air only, so the statement about transmission being exclusively airborne isn’t accurate. Also, communicable diseases do infect humans, so saying they do not infect humans is incorrect, and many communicable illnesses are not always fatal, so that option isn’t correct either.
