Solution

The correct option is C Mosquito
After the fourth larval instar of the mosquito, the pupa forms. Pupae are often called as 'tumblers' for their somersaulting movement through the water. This pupal form is very active. It has no mouth, so its movement through the water is primarily a predator avoidance response, or to move to better conditions.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
