The correct option is C Anopheles culifacies - Leishmaniasis
Culex pipiens is a species of mosquitoes of the family Culicidae. It is a vector of the disease filariasis.
Aedes aegypti is a mosquito that can spread yellow fever.
Glossina palpalis or tsetse fly (sometimes spelled tzetze) also known as tik-tik fly causes the spread of sleeping sickness.
Anopheles culicifacies is one of the major vectors of malaria and not Leishmaniasis.
Leishmaniasis is caused by infection with Leishmania parasites, which are spread by the bite of phlebotomine sand flies.
