Explanation by: Admin

Influenza is not a water-borne disease; it is a viral infection that spreads through:

  • Airborne droplets (coughing, sneezing)
  • Direct contact with an infected person
  • Contaminated surfaces

Why are the other options water-borne?

  1. Cholera → Caused by Vibrio cholerae bacteria, spreads through contaminated water.
  2. Amoebiasis → Caused by Entamoeba histolytica, spreads through infected water & food.
  3. Typhoid → Caused by Salmonella typhi, transmitted via contaminated food & water.

Thus, Influenza (D) is the correct answer as it spreads through air, not water.
