The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct set of disease-transmitting arthropods, we will analyze each option provided and identify which arthropods act as vectors for diseases. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Arthropods in Each Option**: - Look at the list of arthropods provided in each option. Common vectors include flies, fleas, and other insects. 2. **Research Each Arthropod's Role as a Vector**: - **C. C. Fly (Tsetse Fly)**: This is known to transmit *Trypanosoma gambiense*, which causes sleeping sickness. - **Housefly**: This insect is a vector for various diseases, including typhoid fever and amoebic dysentery, primarily through contaminated food and water. - **Rat Flea (Xenopsylla)**: This flea is a vector for the bubonic plague. - **Sand Fly (Phlebotomus)**: This fly transmits *Leishmania donovani*, which causes Kala Azhar (Dum-Dum Fever). 3. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Option 1**: C. C. Fly, Housefly, Rat Flea, Sand Fly. - All these arthropods are known vectors for diseases. - **Option 2**: Anopheles (malaria), Louse (typhus fever), Housefly, Termite. - Anopheles and Louse are vectors, but Termite is not a vector. - **Option 3**: Cockroach, Housefly, Termite, Rat Flea. - Cockroaches can contaminate food but are not considered primary disease vectors, and Termite is not a vector. - **Option 4**: Butterfly, Housefly, Rat Flea, Sand Fly. - Butterfly is primarily a pollinator and does not transmit diseases. 4. **Select the Correct Option**: - After evaluating all options, **Option 1** is the only set where all arthropods listed are confirmed vectors for diseases. ### Final Answer: The correct set of disease-transmitting arthropods is **Option 1: C. C. Fly, Housefly, Rat Flea, and Sand Fly.** ---
