The correct answer is  Ans. D: Dracunculosis Ahropod-borne diseases are transmitted by ahropods, members of the inveebrate phylum Ahropoda, which includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans. Mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, lice, and flies are the ahropods that usually act as vectors for various pathogens (disease-causing microorganisms), including bacteria, viruses, helminths (parasitic worms), and protozoa. Transmission of these pathogens to humans by the ahropod vector can cause a variety of human diseases, including malaria, yellow fever, Chagas disease, and dengue fever.
