B) Category B
In the context of biological agents, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has classified them into three categories: A, B, and C. Category B agents are those that are moderately easy to disseminate and have low mortality rates. They also include agents that are of concern for food and water safety. Unlike Category A agents, which are considered high-priority agents due to their high potential for mass dissemination and high mortality rates, Category B agents are considered to have a lower threat level.
