Solution

The correct option is C Yellow fever
Yellow fever is a highly serious, fatal, mosquito borne disease caused by the flavivirus. The virus is transmitted by infected female mosquitoes. The mosquito becomes infected when it bites an infected human or an animal. Increased contact between humans and infected mosquitoes particularly in urban areas where people have not been vaccinated for yellow fever can create epidemics. So, the correct answer is 'Yellow fever'.
