Vedclass · Answer

(D) Pneumonia is caused by bacteria like $Streptococcus 	ext{ } pneumoniae$ and $Haemophilus 	ext{ } influenzae$, which infect the alveoli of the lungs. It spreads through droplets released by an infected person or by sharing glasses and utensils.Common cold is caused by rhinoviruses and is highly infectious, spreading through droplets resulting from cough or sneezes of an infected person or through contaminated objects.Since both diseases spread through droplets or aerosols released into the air by an infected person, they are considered airborne or droplet-transmitted diseases.Therefore, avoiding close contact with an infected person is a necessary preventive measure for both. Thus, both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct, and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
