• A. Sleeping sickness
• B. Malaria
• C. Filaria
• D. Yellow fever

Answer 1

The correct option is A Sleeping sickness

Human African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is a vector-borne parasitic disease. It is caused by infection with protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Trypanosoma. They are transmitted to humans by tsetse fly (Glossina genus) bites which have acquired their infection from human beings or from animals harbouring the human pathogenic parasites.

So, the correct answer is 'Sleeping sickness'.
