Solution

The correct option is C Dengue and chikungunya
Dengue and chikungunya are viral diseases that are transmitted by the bite of Aedes mosquito from an infected person to a healthy person.
Only female mosquitoes are involved in the transmission of the disease because they feed on blood while male mosquitoes feed only on plant juices, such as nectar, to get the sugar they need for energy and survival.
As males do not bite, they cannot transmit diseases.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
