Lyme disease is transmitted by the blacklegged tick, and both the nymph and adult stages can transfer the disease to humans if infected with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. TheGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 7: Ticks) notes that nymphs are more likely to transmit due to their small size and longer feeding time, but adults can also transmit. Option A (nymph only) and Option C (adult only) are incorrect, as both stages are capable.
