Question

which of these should be reportable diseases to protect public health?
a. measles
b. lung cancer
c. obesity
d. diabetes

Explanation:

Reportable diseases are typically infectious, contagious, and pose a public health risk requiring monitoring/containment. Measles is a highly contagious viral infection spread via respiratory droplets, making it critical to report for outbreak control. Lung cancer, obesity, and diabetes are non-infectious (chronic or lifestyle-related) and not reportable for public health protection in this context.

A. Measles
