Solution

The correct option is C Dengue
Dengue fever is caused by a virus while malaria is caused by a protozoan called Plasmodium. Both these diseases are spread by mosquitoes acting as vectors. Dengue is spread by the female Aedes mosquito while the female Anopheles mosquito spreads malaria. Cholera is a water-borne disease and typhoid is caused by contaminated food and water. These diseases do not spread by vectors.
