Answer:

No, because Pneumonia can be transferred from one person to another.

Explanation:

Because humans are the only natural host for S. pneumoniae, our data suggest that the CbpA-mediated recruitment of complement FH may contribute to host tropism of this pathogen. A person can spread the germs that cause pneumonia when he or she coughs and expels the bacterial or viral infections that caused the disease. The droplets containing the virus or bacteria can land on a common surface, such as a table, telephone, or computer. Anyone can get pneumococcal disease, it occurs more frequently in infants, young children, the elderly or in people with serious medical conditions such as chronic lung, heart or kidney disease. Others at risk include alcoholics, diabetics, people with weakened immune systems and those without a spleen.

Have the best day ever! :D

A prominence refers to a bright, large, gaseous feature projecting externally from the surface of the Sun, usually in a loop shape. Prominences are attached with the surface of the Sun in the photosphere and elongate outwards into the corona of the Sun.

The prominences are related to the discharge of the high energy constituents called a solar flare. These solar flares have been considered to influence electronic communication as their energy blends up the upper atmosphere of the Earth, making the radio transmissions weak and noisy.

Hence, the correct statements are prominences can disturb radio communications on Earth and prominences are loop-shaped.
