Solution

The correct answer to the question "Diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans are called:" is A: Zoonoses.

Explanation:

Zoonoses are infectious diseases that are naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans. A well-known example is the transmission of rabies from animals like bats or dogs to humans. Other options, such as bird flu and swine flu, are specific types of zoonoses referring to influenza viruses that primarily infect birds and pigs, respectively. Ringworm, on the other hand, is a fungal infection that can be transmitted from animals to humans but is not classified as a zoonosis in the broader context. Therefore, the term "zoonoses" is the most accurate descriptor for diseases shared between animals and humans.
