Answer

d) anthrax

Explanation

Bacilli are a type of bacteria that are characterized by their rod-like shape and their ability to form spores. One of the diseases caused by bacilli is anthrax. Anthrax is a serious infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It can affect both humans and animals and can be transmitted through contact with infected animals or their products. The spores of Bacillus anthracis are highly resistant and can survive in the environment for long periods, making them a potential bioterrorism threat. Therefore, the correct answer is option d) anthrax.
