The correct option is C Neisseria

Meningitis is a disease which causes an inflammation of meninges, the protective membranes covering of the brain and spinal cord. This inflammation is usually the result of an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord caused mostly by bacteria or viruses. Meningitis may also result from injury, cancer, fungi or allergies to certain drugs. The bacteria which causes meningitis are Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenza or Listorea monocytogenes. So, the correct answer is option C.
