Choice A can be faulted because it is not at first clear whether caused by modifies increase or malaria. Also, the proper expression here and in choice D is not resistance against but resistance to. Choice C, D, and E are wrong because the completed sentence must read 30- to 40-fold increase. In these choices, 30- to 40-fold illogically modifies incidence; furthermore, incidence of … increase in D and E is illogical. Choice B is best. The question is a little easier than the average.

B中的意思是这种病增加了,是因为蚊子的的抗药力提高了
