Answer:

The correct option is : b. Hantavirus infection

Step-by-step explanation:

Hantavirus, also known as orthohantavirus, is a negative-sense RNA virus, which belongs to the Hantaviridae family. It is a single stranded, enveloped virus, that is generally present in the rodents or mice. The hantavirus spreads in humans by contact with the rodent's urine, feces or saliva. The hantavirus is named after the Hantan River, South Korea, where one of the early outbreaks of the hantavirus was observed.
