By Mosquito Bites
- C.
By Unhygienic Habits
- D.
By Eating Unhealthily
Correct Answer
B. By Mosquito BitesExplanation
Dengue Fever is primarily spread through mosquito bites. When a mosquito carrying the dengue virus bites a person, it transmits the virus into their bloodstream. The infected person can then serve as a host for the virus, allowing it to multiply within their body. If another mosquito bites the infected person, it can become infected with the virus and spread it to other individuals when it bites them. Therefore, the correct answer is "By Mosquito Bites."Rate this question:
