The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV is a blood-borne pathogen. One of the primary modes of transmission is through the sharing of contaminated needles and syringes, which can transfer infected blood from one person to another. Elephantiasis, Malaria, and Dengue are all vector-borne diseases, transmitted by insects (mosquitoes).
