Answer:

impetigo

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the choices above, "impetigo" is the most highly contagious disease. It is caused by bacteria that is responsible for causing lesions on the child's skin. It is advisable for kids to stay at home until a treatment is already given for the lesions. This is transmissible by mostly direct contact, thus it is very important for the sick person to stay at home and complete proper treatment (such as taking antibiotics). It can also be transmitted indirectly, for example by touching the person's soiled personal things.
