A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/13/O/N/20

Explanation
Matching statements to cholera, measles, and malaria characteristics
Steps:
- Cholera spreads via fecal-oral contact (1) and has vaccination programs like Dukoral (4).
- Measles virus shows antigenic variation in 24 genotypes (2); climate influences spread by promoting indoor contact in cold weather (3).
- Malaria transmits human-to-human via blood contact (e.g., transfusions, needles; 1) and has WHO-approved RTS,S vaccination program (4).
Why D is correct:
- D aligns statements with disease biology: cholera's contact/vaccine, measles' variants/climate effects, malaria's rare contact/vaccine rollout.
Why the others are wrong:
- A omits cholera vaccine and assigns false contact to malaria.
- B misassigns variants to measles (lacks significant ones) and ignores its vaccine.
- C wrongly gives variants to cholera and climate to measles.
Final answer: D
