{'diseases': [9, 0, 10, 7], 'aids': [4, 0, 1, 3], 'syphilis': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'cirrhosis': [2, 0, 1, 1]}

The correct answer is option 2: 1, 3, and 4 only.

Let`s break down the options to understand why this is the correct answer:

Option 1 (1, 2, 3, and 4): This option includes all the diseases listed in the question. However, the question specifically asks for diseases that are transmitted from one person to another. Cirrhosis, which is the scarring of the liver, is not a disease that can be transmitted from person to person. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.

Option 2 (1, 3, and 4 only): This option includes AIDS, Hepatitis B, and Syphilis. These three diseases are indeed transmitted from one person to another through various means such as sexual contact, blood transfusions, or sharing of needles. This makes option 2 the correct answer.

Option 3 (1 and 2 only): This option only includes AIDS and Cirrhosis. As mentioned earlier, Cirrhosis is not a disease that can be transmitted from person to person. Therefore, option 3 is incorrect.

Option 4 (2, 3, and 4 only): This option includes Cirrhosis, Hepatitis B, and Syphilis.
