C) Yes, the six-week-old cousin should be considered at risk.

Explanation:

young are at higher risk of pertussis as compared to older children and adult because young infants are not fully immunized. At the young age of 6 week, the cousin may not have started the DPT vaccination. so babies at this age gets easily affected when they are in contact with the infected people.
