Solution

The correct option is B None of the above.
  • All mosquitoes, go through four stages in their life cycles: egg, larva, pupa, and imago(Adult stage). The first three stages are aquatic and together last 5–14 days, depending on the species and the ambient temperature(surrounding temperature).
  • The Mosquito eggs hatch in water and a mosquito larva or "wriggler" emerges. The length of time to hatch depends on water temperature, food, and type of mosquito. The larva(wriggler) lives in the water, feeds and develops into the third stage of the life cycle called, a pupa or "tumbler."
Hence larva of Mosquito is Wriggler.
So, the correct answer is 'None of the above'.
