Solution
The correct option is A Algae growing in the pond
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water where the larvae hatch and feed before pupating and emerging as adults. The larvae come to the surface of the water to feed and breathe and then hide from predators under vegetation in your pond. Ponds can be an ideal breeding ground for mosquito larvae. The larva from the eggs feed on algae present in the pond.
