Solution

The correct option is B Gambusia
Gambusia affinis, which is also known as 'mosquitofish'. It is a species of freshwater fish. The name "mosquitofish" was given because the diet of this fish sometimes consists of large numbers of mosquito larvae. Mosquitofish were introduced directly into ecosystems in many parts of the world as a biocontrol to lower mosquito populations.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
