The correct answer is
Non-communicable diseases
Diabetes, cancer, and asthma are collectively known as non-communicable diseases, as they do not spread from person to person and are typically linked to lifestyle or genetic factors.
Communicable, airborne and deficiency diseases describe other categories of illness, not the classification these three conditions fall under.
Hence, 'Non-communicable diseases' is the correct answer.
