The correct option is C Rabies, Mumps
Mumps is an acute contagious disease of children, characterized by acute enlargement of one or both salivary glands. The disease is caused by the mumps virus, which belongs to a family of viruses known as paramyxoviruses.

Rabies is caused by a lyssavirus (a form of virus that causes encephalitis) that affects the saliva and nervous system. It is a preventable viral disease most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system of mammals, ultimately causing disease in the brain and death.

Cholera is an acute diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with Vibrio cholerae bacteria.

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Tetanus is an infection caused by a bacterium called Clostridium tetani.
