Solution

The correct option is B Mosquito
Wrigglers refer to the larvae of mosquitoes. These are produced when the egg hatches and moves by wriggling. They live in water but breathe air, so like snorkelers, they have a breathing tube and must come close to the surface often to get oxygen.
The immature form of cockroach is nymph, larvae of the butterfly is called as a caterpillar, larvae of a housefly are maggot.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
