B
The deerfly is one of the culprits responsible for transmitting tularemia, which also is known as deerfly fever or rabbit fever.
Ricin is associated with the mash left from the making of castor bean oil and is not a result of the oil itself.
Smallpox is transmitted person to person and cannot be transmitted by insects or animals.
Pneumonic plague is caused by the bite by a flea infected with the causative organism.
