Among the given options, the disease that is NOT caused by viruses is Typhoid (option 4). Polio (option 1), Chicken Pox (option 2), and Influenza (option 3) are all caused by viruses.

Polio is caused by the poliovirus, which attacks the nervous system and can lead to paralysis.

Chicken Pox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus and is characterized by itchy red blisters and a fever.

Influenza, also known as the flu, is caused by the influenza virus and is known for respiratory symptoms like fever, cough, and body aches.

However, Typhoid (option 4) is caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi, not a virus. Typhoid is a bacterial infection that causes symptoms like fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, Typhoid.
