The correct option is C Gambusia
Gambusia fish are mainly found in freshwater. They eat zooplankton, beetles, mayflies, mites and other invertebrates. They also feed on mosquito larvae hence known as mosquito fish. Hence they are introduced into freshwater bodies such as ponds to control the mosquito population. Thus the correct answer is option C.
