Explanation

A communicable disease is caused by an infectious agent that can spread between people, either directly or through another route such as contaminated food or an insect. A noncommunicable disease does not spread from person to person. Therefore, the correct choice is “A communicable disease can be spread from one person to another and a noncommunicable disease cannot be spread to others.”
