The correct answer is (a).Wolbachia is a common bacteria that occurs naturally in 60% of insect species, including some mosquitoes, fruit flies, moths, dragonflies and butterflies. It is not, however, found in dengue-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Researcher are trying to breed dengue mosquitoes with mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia. This will produce Wolbachia mosquitoes. So even if they bite people, it won’t cause dengue. Source:article in IndianExpress in 2021
