Explanation: The conclusion is that the mosquito control measures *failed*. To **cast doubt** on this, you need an alternative explanation for the increase in cases. Options 1, 2, 3, and 4 all provide alternative reasons (better reporting, imported cases, new test, more people to infect). Option 5, the increase in dengue incidence (another mosquito-borne disease), *supports* the authority's conclusion that the mosquito control measures are failing, thus it is the one statement that would **NOT** cast doubt on the conclusion.
