B) This choice is correct. Leukemia is not contagious. It is a type of cancer caused by abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow and blood. It cannot be transmitted from one person to another.

C) This choice is incorrect because leukemia is not contagious, even if the person has a weakened immune system. It is not a communicable disease.
