Answer : 1. "Small Intestine"
Explanation :

(A) Small Intestine

The absorption of nutrients from food primarily occurs in the small intestine. The small intestine is a long, coiled tube that follows the stomach in the digestive tract. It is the primary site for the absorption of nutrients such as sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals into the bloodstream. The small intestine has specialized structures called villi and microvilli that increase its surface area, facilitating efficient absorption of nutrients. The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes but is not the main site for nutrient absorption. The stomach plays a role in digestion but is not a major site of nutrient absorption. The liver is involved in processing and storing nutrients but does not directly absorb them from the digestive tract.

(B) Allethrins

Allethrins are active chemicals commonly used in mosquito repellents and insecticides to deter or eliminate mosquitoes. They belong to a class of synthetic pyrethroid insecticides, which are designed to mimic the insecticidal properties of pyrethrins, natural insecticides derived from chrysanthemum flowers. These chemicals are effective in repelling and killing mosquitoes and other insects. The other options (Benzene Hexachlorophene, Atropine, and 2-Isopropoxiphimyal) are not typically used for mosquito control.

Answer : 2. "Spleen"
Explanation :

(B) Spleen

The organ primarily affected by malaria is the spleen. Malaria is a parasitic infection caused by Plasmodium parasites that are transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. The parasites multiply in the liver and then infect red blood cells, leading to symptoms such as fever, chills, and an enlarged spleen. The spleen plays a crucial role in the immune response against malaria, but the infection can cause it to enlarge as it filters out infected red blood cells from the circulation. If left untreated, severe cases of malaria can lead to complications, including damage to the spleen and other organs.
