Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is C) Prions</em></u>

Explanation:

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)  or Mad Cow Disease  is a disease which occurs due to transmissible particles known as prions. Prions cannot be considered as living organisms as they do not acquire many of the living characteristics. They are just considered as a protein which gest converted into an activated, toxic form  as soon as they encounter a host cell. This toxic protein harms the central nervous system (CNS) of the cow host and is transmissible.
