Solution

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct.
Different types of bacteria can have similar biochemical pathways. An antibiotic working against one type of bacteria can also work on another type of bacteria, if both of them have similar biochemical pathway or life processes.
Malaria is caused by a protozoa, Plasmodium. Microbes are transmitted through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Upon entering the human body, they attack the liver. Then infect the RBCs.
