The activity which is most likely to transmit disease is Direct contact.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Direct contact is a type of communicable disease.

  • Communicable diseases are those diseases which can be communicated by microbal agents from an affected person to someone else in a variety of ways.
  • Disease causing microbes of infectious disease spread through many ways such as - Through air : ( e.g, common cold , pneumonia and tuberculosis. ) Through water : Cholera , Through physical and Direct contact : AIDS .

The disease causing microbes enter the body through different routes and thus , affect that area e.g ,

  • If they enter from the air via the nose , they are likely to go to tge lungs .
  • If they enter through mouth , they can stay in the gut lining.
  • If they come via physical contact, then they will spread to lymph nodes all over the body.
  • If they enter through mosque bite , then they may go to the liver and then to the RBC's .
