Solution

The correct option is C

Creutzfeldt – Jacob disease


BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) is a progressive neurological disorder of cattle that results from infection by an unusual transmissible agent called a prion. Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD) is likely to be caused by consuming meat from a cow that had bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or 'mad cow disease'), a similar prion disease to CJD.
