Answer That Was Chose: C) "Diseases that spread slowly and take years to infect a population, meaning they will never reach epidemic levels"

To the best of my knowledge I would say A) "Diseases for which prevention, treatment and/ or transmission methods are unknown or partially known" or C) "Diseases that spread slowly and take years to infect a population, meaning they will never reach epidemic levels"

Explanation:

An emerging infectious disease (EID) is an infectious disease whose incidence has increased in the past 20 years and could increase in the near future. Emerging infections account for at least 12% of all human pathogens.
