The correct option is B Dengue
  • Arbovirus refers to any viruses that are transmitted by arthropod vectors. Arboviruses can affect both animals, including humans, and plants.

  • Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by protozoa i.e., Plasmodium species. Filariasis is a parasitic disease caused by an infection with roundworms. Amoebiasis is a protozoal infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica.

  • Hence, Arbovirus caused dengue fever.
