The right answer is strep throat, Lyme disease, meningitis, and tuberculosis.

Cancer is not an infectious disease, it is a genetic disease, causing a rapid and anarchic division of cells. the same thing for diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by an increase in blood glucose due to a defect in insulin.

The only option that does not describe these two diseases is the answer I chose.
