Answer:

The answer for your question will be

A)P-Aedes , Q-Dengue , R-Anopheles , S-Plasmodium , T-Malaria.

Explanation:

Insect like mosquito, Houseflies are vectors of many Diseases.

Mosquitoes are mainly responsible for spreading of Malaria and Dengue.

The type of mosquito which is responsible for spreading Dengue is Aedes aegypti Mosquito and the causative agent for dengue is Dengue Virus (DENV) also Malaria disease is caused by protozoan: P. falciparum, P. malariae etc. and the type of mosquito that spread the disease is Female Anopheles Mosquito and the disease is of course Malaria. Now you may ask why I chose Malaria as a disease and not Chikungunya or Yellow fever because Malaria is the only disease which is spread by mosquito and the causative agent is the Protozoa and Yellow Fever and Chikungunya are caused by Virus not Protozoa. So the suitable option for your question will be A).

And for your extra info the vector of any of the following virus will only be a Female Mosquito not Male as female sucks the blood of animals (including Humans) to lay Eggs. The viruses are Zika virus, West Nile virus, Chikungunya virus, dengue, and malaria.

Hope my answer helped you . Have  a nice Day :)
