B
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

Detailed Solution
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) is caused by prions, abnormally folded infectious proteins, which make the brain tissue spongy.
The similar prion disease in humans is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD); a variant form (vCJD) was linked to eating BSE-infected beef.
So the human disease similar to BSE is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
