Explanation

The correct option is A: must be in communicable form.

According to Section 13(1)(v) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, a spouse can seek divorce if the other spouse is suffering from a venereal disease in a communicable form. This means that the disease can be transmitted through sexual contact and poses a risk to the health and life of the petitioner. A venereal disease is a sexually transmitted disease that is incurable and transmittable, such as AIDS. If the disease is not communicable or curable, then it is not a valid ground for divorce under this section.

Therefore, option A is the only correct answer.
