Answer:

B. Zoonoses

Step-by-step explanation:

Zoonoses are diseases typical of animals that can be transmitted to humans and vice versa. The word has Greek origin, where zoon means animal and nosos means disease. Usually these diseases are caused by parasites hosted on animals. However, zoonoses can also be caused by microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and fungi.
