The correct option is C Rabies
Rabies or hydrophobia is a very serious disease caused by a virus, that affects wild animals but humans can also become infected.
Rabies is a viral disease that causes acute inflammation of the brain in humans and other warm-blooded animals.
Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure. These symptoms are followed by one or more of the following symptoms: violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Once symptoms appear it nearly always results in death.
