Solution

The correct option is A Cow/Horse dung
  • The female housefly usually mates only once and stores the sperm for later use. She lays batches of about 100 eggs on decaying organic matter such as food waste, carrion, or feces.
  • House fly eggs are laid in almost any warm, moist material that will supply suitable food for the larvae. For example, Cow/Horse dung.
  • Hence Common House Fly (Musca nebulo) lays eggs on Cow/Horse dung.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Cow/Horse dung.
