Which of the following statements describes the cause of the hantavirus pulmonary syndrome outbreak in the Southwest during the 1990s,demonstrating the interconnected web of human health,animal health and environmental health?

B) Global warming evaporated the lakes and drove deer mice,the reservoir of hantavirus,into the suburbs,where they passed the virus to humans in their feces.
C) Polluted rivers from excess watershed run-off killed the native plants so the starving deer mice were forced to migrate to urban areas where they shed hantavirus that aerosolized into human lungs.
