Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Asthma is an air-borne disease while all other cholera, dysentery, and typhoid are water-borne. Asthma is due to allergy in the patients toward foreign allergens like pollens, dust particles, etc. present in the air. It causes the constriction of the bronchi and excess production of mucus causing difficulty in breathing.
