Solution

The correct option is C Bacillus anthracis
Anthrax is an infection that is caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. These bacteria form spores that are hard-shelled, dormant versions of the bacteria. Spores are the form of the bacteria that cause infection. They can survive in the soil for many decades. Anthrax most commonly occurs in animals such as pigs, cattle, horses, and goats, but it can also infect people.
So the correct option is 'Bacillus anthrcis'
