Answer: C. Germs being spread by person-to-person contact.

Explanation:

The mass illness to the people in the office can be because of transfer of germs, when the infected person comes in contact or stays along for a long time with the healthy and disease free person. This will lead to the spread of the communicable disease (s) (diseases which spread from one individual to other). The germs responsible for such diseases can be airborne thus invade the body through breathing, can be transferred to the surface of objects, and can be the part of bodily fluids.
