Correct answer:
Rabies can cause death if not treated immediately, and curing the virus after incubation is impossible.
Explanation: Rabies is almost always fatal once clinical symptoms appear. Post‑exposure treatment (vaccine + immunoglobulin) is only effective if given promptly before symptoms. Vaccinating pets prevents them from becoming infected and transmitting this deadly disease to humans and other animals, which is why vaccination is mandatory.
