Answer
Cold and flu, Typhoid, Chickenpox are communicable; Diabetes and Asthma are non-communicable.

Explanation

  • Cold and flu, typhoid, and chickenpox are caused by pathogens.
  • They spread from one person to another, so they are communicable.
  • Diabetes and asthma are not caused by germs.
  • They do not spread, so they are non-communicable.
