Read the excerpt from "The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England."

But you have the advantage of knowing that a fleabite can convey the plague, and that the black rat that carries the plague flea does not like to move about very much, so leaving an affected area is a good strategy. Also, plague is most frequently transferred between people in towns, and it dies down in winter, when the rat population is less active. Therefore avoid towns in summer; stay out of the poorer parishes in particular, which are more severely affected than rich ones.

Which statement best summarizes this excerpt?

A. To avoid the plague, travel around areas where there are animals and stay out of wealthy towns during warm weather.

B. To avoid the plague, do not travel to or stay near areas where there are black rats and fleas.

C. To avoid the plague, leave areas where it is found and steer clear of towns during warmer months.

D. To avoid the plague, move away from crowded towns to the countryside during the hot summer months.
