Solution

The correct option is C Mandibles
The females have a pair of mandibles and maxillae within the proboscis, forming long and needle-shaped stylets. Mandibles end in sharp tiny blades, while maxillae into saw-like blades bearing teeth. In males, these mandibles are absent.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
