Solution

The correct option is A Is a surface feeder and the respiratory siphon is undeveloped
The female Anopheles acts as a vector which transmits the information from one organism to the other. Mosquito larva is characterized by the head with mouth brushes used for feeding, a large thorax and a nine-segment abdomen. It has no legs. In contrast to other mosquitoes, the Anopheles larva lacks the respiratory siphon.
So, the correct answer is option A.
