The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

Zoonotic diseases spread from animals to humans. Brucellosis is caused by Brucella species and spreads through infected milk, contact with aborted fetuses, or discharges. It causes undulant fever in humans. Control measures include testing animals regularly, culling infected ones, vaccination (e.g., S19 in calves), and strict hygiene. Farmers should always boil or pasteurize milk before consumption to prevent transmission.

Approach Solution -2

Definition Match: 'Zoonotic' specifically means transmissible from animals to humans — so scan each option for human transmission.

Brucellosis is the classic example: it passes to humans through infected milk or contact with aborted fetal tissue, causing undulant fever.

Mastitis, foot rot, and bloat are all animal-only conditions with no pathway to infect a human host, so they fail the definition immediately.
