Answer:

A cook who was also a carrier of typhoid

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary Mallon, also recognized as Typhoid Mary, had been a Scottish-born cook who claimed to have bitten 51 persons, three of whom died of typhoid fever, and the first individual in the United States was reported as an asymptomatic carrier of the disease. As she chose to function as a cook by introducing others to the disease, she was forcefully separated twice by officials.

Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct statement is C.
