Solution
The correct option is A Aedes
Mosquitoes lay the eggs in water which hatches into larvae. The larvae lives in the water for sometime and then rise to the surface of water. Later the larvae emerges as new adult mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes of the genus Aedes lay their eggs on soil where the eggs wait until rain washes them into shallow puddles or pools, or wet weather causes ponds to flood and rise to reach them.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
