All forms of tinea are:

  1. Non-contagious

  2. Autoimmune conditions

  3. Contagious

  4. Not related to fungi

The correct answer is: Contagious

Tinea is a fungal infection, and all forms of it are contagious. This means they can be spread from person to person through direct contact or through sharing contaminated items. Option A is incorrect because tinea can spread from person to person, making it contagious. Option B is incorrect because autoimmune conditions are disorders where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, while tinea is caused by an external factor (fungi). Option D is incorrect because tinea is caused by a fungal infection.
