Correct Answer: Option (b)

  • Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne virus that causes a disease. It is transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Hepatitis B and HIV AIDS spread when blood, semen, or other body fluids from a person infected with the virus enters the body of someone who is not infected. This can therefore be spread through tattooing as tattoo machine invades skin of many persons. Hence, option (b) is correct.
