Which would be the appropriate null hypothesis?
The odds of a person being bitten by a mosquito is the same for people near citronella candles and wax candles The proportion of people being bitten by a mosquito is the same for people near citronella candles and wax candles Either of the above

Which would be the appropriate CI to produce?
A CI for the odds ratio A CI for the difference in proportions Either of the above

Which would be the appropriate hypothesis test?
A hypothesis tests for the difference between proportions A hypothesis tests for the odds ratio Either of the above
