Solution
The correct option is A Gambusia
The western mosquito-fish (Gambusia affinis) is a species of freshwater fish. The name mosquito-fish was given because the diet of this fish consists of large numbers of mosquito larvae. Mosquito-fish were introduced directly into ecosystems in many parts of the world as a biocontrol to lower mosquito populations which in turn negatively affected many other species in each distinct bioregion. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
