[spoiler title=”Answer and Explanation”]The correct answer is:
b. beriberi
Explanation:
Beriberi is caused by a deficiency of vitamin B₁ (thiamine) and is non-communicable, meaning it does not spread from person to person.
The others (chickenpox, common cold, measles) are communicable diseases caused by viruses and can spread through contact or airborne transmission.[/spoiler]
