The correct Answer is:
To identify the diseases P, Q, R, S, and T based on their characteristics, we will analyze each description step by step.
### Step 1: Identify Disease P
- **Characteristic**: Communicable disease, spreads through sexual contact.
- **Possible Diseases**:
- AIDS
- Syphilis
- Gonorrhea
- Hepatitis B
- **Conclusion**: Disease P can be identified as **AIDS** (or any other similar disease that spreads through sexual contact).
### Step 2: Identify Disease Q
- **Characteristic**: Communicable disease, spreads through physical contact and use of infected articles.
- **Possible Diseases**:
- Measles
- Smallpox
- Chickenpox
- Influenza
- **Conclusion**: Disease Q can be identified as **Measles** (or any other disease that spreads through physical contact).
### Step 3: Identify Disease R
- **Characteristic**: Communicable disease, transmitted through vectors.
- **Possible Diseases**:
- Malaria (transmitted by mosquitoes)
- Dengue (transmitted by mosquitoes)
- Zika virus (transmitted by mosquitoes)
- Yellow fever (transmitted by mosquitoes)
- **Conclusion**: Disease R can be identified as **Malaria** (or any other vector-borne disease).
### Step 4: Identify Disease S
- **Characteristic**: Non-communicable disease, uncontrolled proliferation of cells.
- **Possible Diseases**:
- Cancer
- Tumors
- Benign growths
- **Conclusion**: Disease S can be identified as **Cancer**.
### Step 5: Identify Disease T
- **Characteristic**: Non-communicable disease, hypersensitivity to certain antigens such as dust, pollen, etc.
- **Possible Diseases**:
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Hay fever
- **Conclusion**: Disease T can be identified as **Hay fever** (or any other allergy-related condition).
### Final Summary of Diseases Identified
- **P**: AIDS (or similar)
- **Q**: Measles (or similar)
- **R**: Malaria (or similar)
- **S**: Cancer
- **T**: Hay fever (or similar)
