What does 'communicable' mean in terms of a disease?

  1. It is genetic

  2. It can spread to others; contagious

  3. It is non-infectious

  4. It cannot be treated

The correct answer is: It can spread to others; contagious

A communicable disease is one that can be spread from person to person. This means that the disease can be passed on to others, making it contagious. Option A, genetic, and option C, non-infectious, describe conditions that are not necessarily communicable. Option D, cannot be treated, is incorrect because many communicable diseases can be treated.
