Answer 1

The Black Death was the worst outbreak of the bubonic plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, leading to a significant decrease in the world's population during the 14th century.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the Black Death and the bubonic plague is that A) The Black Death was the worst outbreak of the bubonic plague. Caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, the Black Death was a pandemic that reduced the world's population significantly during the 14th century and had repeated outbreaks, including one in London during the mid-1600s. Despite the high mortality rate during medieval times, modern antibiotics are effective against the plague, and mortality rates are now very low.
