• A. They spread diseases.
• B. They destroy crops.
• C. They cause malaria and threaten plants.

Answer 1

The correct option is C They cause malaria and threaten plants.

It is clearly mentioned in the second line of the passage that pests are responsible for diseases like malaria and also they are a threat to plants.

Therefore, Option C is the right answer.

There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Option A, B, and D are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.
