Solution

The correct options are
A Anthrax
B Foot and mouth disease
C Haemorrhagic septicemia
Anthrax is a highly contagious fatal disease that can completely wipe out farm animals in case of an outbreak. It is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis and can make animals go from healthy-looking to dead in a matter of hours.

Foot and mouth disease is an infectious and sometimes fatal viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals. The virus causes high fever and blisters inside the mouth and on the hooves that may rupture and cause lameness.

Haemorrhagic septicemia is another highly fatal form of cattle infection caused by the bacteria Pasteurella.

Rabies is a viral disease. It does not cause infection in livestock though they may be a carrier.
