\nStatement I is true. Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease that spreads through the air. Spending time in crowded places increases the likelihood of being exposed to airborne pathogens from infected individuals. Statement II is also true. The bacteria that cause TB, *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*, are primarily transmitted from person to person through tiny droplets released into the air when a person with active pulmonary TB coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings. Statement II provides the mechanism (airborne droplet spread) that explains why being in crowded places (where people are in close proximity and may be infectious) increases the risk of contracting TB, as stated in Statement I. Therefore, Statement II is the correct explanation for Statement I.
\n<\/section>\n
\nTuberculosis is an airborne infectious disease. Transmission occurs through inhaling infectious droplets.
\n<\/section>\n
\nFactors that increase the risk of TB infection and disease include close contact with an infectious person, crowded living conditions, poor ventilation, malnutrition, and weakened immune systems (e.g., due to HIV, diabetes).
