Solution

The correct option is C
Malaria

The analogy in the question is that the vector of the disease filariasis is a culex mosquito whereas the vector for malaria is a female anopheles mosquito.
Chikungunya and dengue are mosquito-borne diseases but they aren't transmitted through anopheles mosquitoes. Chicken pox is a viral disease spread through the medium of air.
