Answer: Option A
Solution:
Scabies disease is ectoparasitic zoonosis.
Scabies is a common ectoparasitic infestation caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei ssp. hominis.
The motion of the mite in and on the skin is extremely itchy. Furthermore, burrowed mites and their eggs generate a massive allergic response in the skin that is even itchier. The mites usually spend their entire life on a dog.
