a (ii) it’s an anopheles mosquito because

 The adult sits 45 degrees at an angle to the wall.

 Its larva is lies horizontal to the water surface.
 Its eggs are laid individually and float on water due to the air floats.
 Its pupa has its trumpet at the left hand side.

(iii) The above mosquito can be avoided at its larva stage by

 Introducing fish in a fish pond to feed on the larvae

 Pouring oil onto the surface of water to cut off oxygen supply to the
larvae
 By using Larvicides to kill the larvae
 By draining stagnant water
