The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Select the mismatch," we will analyze each option provided to determine which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option 1: AIDS - ELISA Test Diagnosis** - **Explanation**: AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is diagnosed using the ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) test, which detects the presence of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) in the body. This option is correct. 2. **Option 2: Filariasis - Causative Organism** - **Explanation**: Filariasis is caused by the parasitic worm Wuchereria bancrofti. This option correctly matches filariasis with its causative organism. Therefore, this option is also correct. 3. **Option 3: Malaria - Anopheles Mosquito Causative Agent** - **Explanation**: Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium species, which are protozoan parasites. The Anopheles mosquito is not the causative agent; rather, it is the vector that transmits the Plasmodium from one host to another. This option is incorrect, making it a mismatch. 4. **Option 4: Ringworm - Dry Scaly Lesions on Skin** - **Explanation**: Ringworm is a fungal infection that presents with symptoms such as dry, scaly lesions on the skin. This description is accurate, and thus this option is correct. ### Conclusion: The mismatch in the options provided is **Option 3**: "Malaria - Anopheles mosquito causative agent," because the Anopheles mosquito is the vector, not the causative agent. ### Final Answer: **Option 3 is the mismatch.** ---
