Correct answer: "A communicable disease can be spread from one person to another and a noncommunicable disease cannot be spread to others."

Explanation: Communicable (infectious) diseases are caused by pathogens (bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi) and can be transmitted between people or via vectors/contaminated objects. Noncommunicable diseases (e.g., heart disease, diabetes, most cancers) are not transmitted between people.
