Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) Encephalitis and Filariasis
Explanation
Female Anopheles mosquitoes are the vectors of Malaria (caused by Plasmodium) and can also transmit Lymphatic Filariasis (Wuchereria bancrofti) and some forms of Encephalitis.
Dengue is spread by Aedes mosquitoes, not Anopheles, ruling out options with dengue.
The remaining pair, Encephalitis and Filariasis, matches Anopheles transmission.
