The answer is the third one: Bacillus anthracis.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Anthrax: This is the name of the disease, not the scientific name of the organism causing it.
  2. staphylococcus: This is a genus name, but it is not written in the correct scientific format (genus name should be capitalized, and it should include the species name).
  3. Bacillus anthracis: This is the correct scientific name, written in the proper binomial nomenclature format (genus name capitalized and species name in lowercase).
  4. E. Coli: This is a common abbreviation for Escherichia coli, but it is not the full scientific name and is not written in the correct format (the species name should be lowercase).

Summary: The full scientific name of the organism causing the disease, written in the correct format, is "Bacillus anthracis."
