Answer:

Inherited from parents

Step-by-step explanation:

A non infectious disease is not made by a pathogen, it means it cannot be passed from person to person actively, so sneezing would be incorrect. A virus is infectious and is contracted by an outside source, wether that be eating a food or touching something, it has still infected you. An example of an inherited disease would be something genetic such as Cystic Fibrosis or Immune diseases like cancer or diabetes, and can be caused not only be genes but lifestyle choices as well.
