Option C) Both male and female mosquitoes eat the same things—nectar, plant sap, or honeydew (a sticky substance excreted by aphids)—for energy. But only female mosquitoes imbibe a blood meal. The females need the protein in blood platelets to develop eggs. Male mosquitoes don’t have specific mouthparts to pierce skin and access blood vessels.
