Answer: C: Ingestion of products made from infected animals 
Explanation: Aerosol transmission may occur in caves harbouring rabies infected bats. Person to person transmission is also on record. Eg - an infected child biting its parent. Ingestion of the virus is not believed to transmit the disease as the virus would be destroyed by stomach acid/enzymes. Ref: Park, Edition 21, Page 252
