Answer:

A. It has animal reservoirs especially birds and swine

Step-by-step explanation:

A zoonotic disease is something that normally exists in animals as in animal resevoirs like birds and swine, but can be transmitted to humans. When this happens our body does not have the proper antibodies prepared to combat the infection as it is foreign to us.
