Answer 1

Answer: C. Humans have avoided animal habitats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Emerging diseases are those diseases which occur frequently after a single tenure of infection. These disease poses a serious challenge over the immune system of the body and it becomes incapable of recovery and can also be lethal.
