Solution

The correct option is A Probosics
A proboscis is the extended sucking part of the insects. Male Anopheles mosquitoes use their proboscis or feeding tube to drink nectar from flowers. The male proboscis is wider and feathery when viewed under magnification. The female Anopheles mosquitoes proboscis is a long, thin tube used for feeding and is relatively smooth compared to male's.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
