Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a bacteria that can infect and kill insects and thus, it is used as an insecticide. Bacillus thuringiensis has been used for decades by organic farmers to control crop-eating insects and by the World Health Organization to kill mosquitoes without using dangerous chemical pesticides. So, Bacillus thuringiensis is used to control most of the insects such as moth, flies and mosquitoes. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
