Solution

The correct option is D Body heat
Mosquitoes sense humans by the smell of their body. ​ In the dark, they can sense us by our body heat.​ They also sense us by the smell of the sole of our feet.
The colour of the skin and hair and pain of human body does not play a part in attracting mosquitoes.
