Question

choose the correct answer.
climate change is likely to raise disease rates globally by increasing populations of disease vectors—organisms that spread diseases, often through bites. which of these organisms is an example?
large mammals
trees and shrubs
insects

Explanation:

Disease vectors are organisms that spread diseases, often via bites. Large mammals don't typically spread diseases through bites as vectors (e.g., rabies is rare and not the main vector - based spread). Trees and shrubs are plants, not disease - spreading organisms. Insects like mosquitoes (spread malaria, dengue) or ticks (spread Lyme disease) are classic disease vectors that spread diseases through bites. So among the options, insects are the disease vectors.

Answer:

Insects
