Hint: Malignant pustule, malignant edema, woolsorters disease and rag pickers disease are the other names of the anthrax disease in the animals. The microorganisms grow into the chain in the gram positive rod shaped microorganisms that are non motile and capsuled in the spore forming, large scale and aerobic etiologic agents.

Complete answer:
The harsh conditions for decade’s often referred to as the spores that are able to survive in the harsh conditions in the centuries of the bacillus anthracis in the dormant endospore. In Antarctica these kinds of spores are mostly found on all the continents. It becomes multiplying rapidly and reactivated when come into contact with a skin lesion on the host, and spores are inhaled and ingested in this condition. The anthrax killed the animals for many decades in the presence of animal burial sites and globally in the bacillus anthracis bacterial spores that are soil borne and distributed after 70 years in the reinfected animals after the anthrax infected animals and burial sites. Cutaneous skin, inhalation of the pulmonary, gastrointestinal anthrax are the major symptoms of the disease. Direct transmission, indirect transmission and airborne transmission of the three modes of transmission of the disease.

Therefore, the correct option is (C).

Note:
Endoscopy of the intestine and throat, gram stating, lumbar puncture, test of inflected skin, CT scan, and blood testing of the diagnosis for the cause of anthrax disease in the animals. With the help of contact with spores through herbivores, sheep’s, goats, cattle’s, infected animals associated soil, and production from the hides, wool, and contaminated hair are the source of infection in the bacillus anthracis.
