Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
Meningococcal meningitis spreads via respiratory/throat droplets between people, not by mosquito bites, so Statement 1 is false. Classic symptoms include fever, stiff or painful neck, headache, nausea/vomiting; thus Statement 2 is true. Therefore only Statement 2 is correct, making option (b) the right choice.
