(b) are vectors for many diseases
(c) bite and cause skin diseases

Answer: The correct answer is (b) are vectors for many diseases
Solution: Mosquitoes are the infecting agents that carry infections from sick people to a different host and are also termed Vectors as they act as intermediaries. The female mosquitos require high nutrition to lay eggs that are acquired in the form of warm blood from animals and humans. Thus, being the vectors for many diseases such as Malaria, Dengue fever and Encephalitis, mosquitoes should not be allowed to breed in our surroundings.
Hence, B is the correct answer.
