Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by worms that live in certain types of freshwater snails. Therefore, the most effective way to control the disease is to eliminate the snails that act as intermediate hosts. Clearing water weeds often involves disturbing the environment the snails inhabit, and removing the snails themselves directly reduces the parasite's ability to spread.
