Solution
The correct option is D Polio
National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme is a comprehensive programme in the sector of healthcare started in 2003 by the ministry of health and family welfare, for the prevention of vector-borne diseases. Many vector-borne diseases are covered under this programme such as Malaria, Kala-azar, Filaria, Japanese encephalitis, Dengue, and Chikungunya.
Polio is not a vector-borne disease. It is caused by a virus that attacks the nervous system and causes irreversible paralysis.
