Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is  -

( b )  black plague

Explanation:

Bubonic plague is a type of infection caused by the Yersinia pestis (Y. pestis) bacterium which is spread mostly by fleas on rodents and other animals. Humans who are bitten by the fleas then can come down with plague.Today, scientists understand that the Black Death, now known as the plague, is spread by a bacillus called Yersinia pestis.The Black Death was an epidemic which ravaged Europe between 1347 and 1400. It was a disease spread through contact with animals (zoonosis), basically through fleas and other rat parasites (at that time, rats often coexisted with humans, thus allowing the disease to spread so quickly).
