Solution

The correct option is B
Drinking boiled water

Malaria is not a water borne disease. The pathogen plasmodium, which causes malaria spreads through the vector, mosquito. While drinking boiled water can help in the prevention of several other water borne diseases, it is useless when it comes to prevention of malaria.
