Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 3.

Key Points

The term "contagious" specifically refers to diseases that can spread from one person to another through direct or indirect contact.
While "infectious" also refers to diseases that can spread, it is a broader term that includes diseases spread by other means as well, such as through air or water.
"Incurable" and "fatal" describe the severity of a disease, not its method of spread.
Thus, the most accurate term for a disease that spreads by contact is "contagious."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Correct Sentence: "A disease which spreads by contact is contagious."

Additional Information

Incurable: A disease that cannot be cured.
Infectious: A disease caused by pathogens that can spread, but not necessarily through contact.
Fatal: A disease that leads to death.
Contagious: A disease that spreads through direct or indirect contact.
