Choose the correct answer from the options given below

• A. (A), (B) and (E) only
• B. (B), (C) and (D) only
• C. (A) and (B) only
• D. (C) and (D) only

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Statement (B) is incorrect because Ascariasis is transmitted through contaminated food and water, not by mosquito bites. (C) is incorrect as Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan, not a helminth, and resides in the large intestine. (D) is incorrect since the malarial parasite reproduces asexually in human RBCs, not in the mosquito’s gut. Understanding transmission and organism types clarifies these misconceptions.
