Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the question is asking for a viral disease that is not caused by a single virus but rather by a group of related viruses causing similar infections.
Recall that the common cold is caused by many different viruses, including rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, adenoviruses, and others, all producing similar symptoms.
Recognize that diseases like rabies, measles, and polio are each caused by a specific, single virus rather than a group of related viruses.
Identify that the common cold fits the description best because it is a syndrome caused by multiple related viruses, making it a group of similar viral infections.
Conclude that the correct answer is the common cold, as it represents a collection of viral infections caused by different but related viruses.
