Answer:

a. more mosquitos more malaria

b. DDT worked to keep malaria numbers down by killing mosquitos

c. silent spring's great PR campaign got it banned and with the help of the EPA it was banned almost worldwide and if it was not banned manufacturing it stopped

d. it will continue to increase and 100s of millions of dead will be stacked even higher from malaria

Explanation: it is a tragedy, not sure if that is what you were given to read but that is the side that is rarely told

the birds all dying was not correct, it is not a cartcinogen, it doesn't poison the ocean

here is an interesting quote that is rather telling about how some with power make their decisions

My own doubts came when DDT was introduced for civilian use. In Guyana, within two years it had almost eliminated malaria, but at the same time the birth rate had doubled. So my chief quarrel with DDT in hindsight is that it has greatly added to the population problem.

– Alexander King, cofounder of the Club of Rome, 1990

Absolutely horrific, he is saying that the problem with DDT is that it saved lives
