Vedclass · Answer

(C) Malaria is a protozoan disease caused by the genus $Plasmodium$ (e.g., $Plasmodium$ $	ext{vivax}$, $Plasmodium$ $	ext{malariae}$, $Plasmodium$ $	ext{falciparum}$). The female $Anopheles$ mosquito acts as a vector that transmits the parasite from an infected person to a healthy person. Therefore, the causative agent of the disease is the $Plasmodium$ parasite, not the mosquito itself.
