B) rabies.
In "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London, when Buck's kidnapper says, "if I don't get the hydrophoby," he is referring to rabies. "Hydrophoby" is an older term for rabies, and the mention of fear of water in the options is relevant because one symptom of rabies is difficulty swallowing and an aversion to water due to the paralysis of the throat muscles.
