No person should be permitted to perform barber-styling services if he/she is suffering from a/an:

  1. chronic headache

  2. communicable disease

  3. ingrown toenail

  4. fallen arch

The correct answer is: communicable disease

This is because a communicable disease can easily be spread from person to person, which can pose a threat to both the barber and the customer. A chronic headache, ingrown toenail, or fallen arch may cause discomfort but they are not contagious. It is important to prevent the spread of communicable diseases in businesses that involve close contact with others.
