B) Kill insects.
Unfortunately, it also softened the shells of eggs laid by birds that were exposed, leading to endangerment of multiple species, most notably the bald eagle.

Ugh. To Uncle Al, DDT is still used in fighting malaria in some contexts, but DDT spraying is NOT considered the most effective way to fight malaria anymore. Indoor wall spraying is more expensive and less efficient in most cases than insecticide-treated nets. DDT was never banned for use in malaria-fighting contexts. That is a myth.

b. Kill insects
And to inspire a Ramones song:
DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose
All the girls are in love with me
I'm a teenage lobotomy

Save Africa from malaria. God save us from the do-gooders.
