Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Disease caused by Clostridium septicum is Braxy.
Braxy is an infectious disease that causes sudden death in sheep. It is caused by the bacterium Clostridium septicum.
Braxy generally occurs in winter, when sheep eat frosted root crops or frosted grass. The frozen feed damages the mucosa (lining) of the abomasum, allowing C. septicum to enter, causing abomasitis and fatal bacteremia.
