The correct answer is C) HIV-AIDS.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), is primarily transmitted through specific bodily fluids: blood, semen, vaginal secretions, rectal fluids, and breast milk. The most common modes of transmission are sexual contact, sharing contaminated needles, and mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. It is NOT transmitted through casual contact or respiratory droplets like coughing or sneezing. Pneumonia and Tuberculosis are bacterial or viral infections often spread through airborne droplets expelled when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. COVID-19 is a viral disease (caused by SARS-CoV-2) primarily spread through respiratory droplets.

Understanding the modes of transmission is crucial for implementing effective prevention strategies for infectious diseases. Respiratory illnesses are often transmitted via droplets or aerosols, while diseases like HIV are transmitted via specific fluid exchange.
