Answer 1

c) The blood is Naveen's or someone else's who the mosquito had bitten.

• Mosquitoes belong to the phylum Arthropoda of the kingdom Animalia.
• The organism belonging to this phylum do not have Red Blod Cells in their blood. Thus, their blood (called the hemolymph) is a colorless fluid.
• When Naveed killed the mosquito, the red-colored blood must belong to a human on which the mosquito must have fed before.
• When a mosquito pierces inside a human skin, it does not leave any cut because its needle is very thin and sharp.
