The correct option is (b) Below 5 YEARS

To explain I would say: Diphtheria commonly affects children below the age group of 5 years. Its symptom includes sore throat, chills with MILD fever, VOMITING and headache. Throat or tonsils show a grey MEMBRANE which may spread down and cause HOARSENESS and difficulty in breathing.
