See sundar. If a man kills the dog with a knife. Then the man was the one to kill. The knife was just an instrument. If mosquitoes are transmitting it, the worms are the culprit. The are the one who give birth to this disease. This is the answer to your question. Have a good day!

@Kn bhati is absolutely right.
Filariasis is caused by the worm Wuchereria bancrofti, which falls under the category of protozoans. So the correct answer is (C) protozoa.
Mosquito(culex) is just the transmitter of the worm to the host organism.

The Filarioidea are a superfamily of nematodes (roundworms). The members of this superfamily are known as filarial worms. Infections with parasitic filarial worms cause filariasis. Drugs against these worms are known as filaricides
