Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Diseases are sorted along two independent axes. On the duration axis, a chronic disease persists over a long period, while an acute disease appears suddenly and lasts only a short time. On the spread axis, an infectious (communicable) disease is caused by a pathogen and can pass from one person to another, whereas a non-infectious (non-communicable) disease does not spread from one person to another.
Because the two axes are independent, the match asks for the single best exemplar of each category so that all four diseases form a one-to-one set.
Chronic disease pairs with Diabetes: a lifelong metabolic disorder managed over years, the standard long-duration example.
Acute disease pairs with Diarrhea: a sudden, short-lived condition that usually resolves quickly, the classic acute example.
Infectious disease pairs with Measles: a vaccine-preventable viral illness that spreads from person to person, the textbook communicable disease.
Non-infectious disease pairs with Cancer: uncontrolled cell growth that does not spread from person to person, a standard non-communicable example.
Diabetes and cancer are both long-lasting and non-communicable, so the split is fixed by the one-to-one rule and standard usage: diabetes is taken as the chronic exemplar and cancer as the non-infectious exemplar. Measles is the classic person-to-person communicable disease and diarrhea the classic sudden, short-lived condition, so measles takes the infectious category and diarrhea the acute one.
Hence the correct matching is A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3.
