Solution

The correct option is C Vector
A microorganism known as 'plasmodium' causes malaria. The female anopheles mosquito carries plasmodium and thus is the vector. Once the infected mosquito bites a human, the parasites multiply in the host's liver before infecting and destroying red blood cells.
