Correct Answer: dengue fever infects little
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The term little is not appropriate in this context for expressing a numerical quantity. Instead, the correct phrase more than should be used to convey that the number exceeds 400 million people annually.
"Little" is used before uncountable nouns.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: " As per the study, mosquito-borne dengue fever infects more than 400 million people annually."
