In the Australia outbreak, how many died?

The main idea here is that an outbreak can kill both animals and people, and understanding who dies helps you gauge how serious and risky it is. In the Australia outbreak, there were fatalities among horses and also human fatalities, so the option that mentions both horse deaths and people who died best matches what actually happened. This reflects the real-world impact on animal health and public health, highlighting the zoonotic risk and why coordinated control measures are needed. The other options either imply no deaths or only animal deaths, which don’t fit the observed outcome in that outbreak.
