A Correct answer
Explanation

A maggot is the larval stage of a fly, specifically the housefly (Musca domestica) and related species. Houseflies lay eggs in decaying organic matter; the hatching larvae (maggots) feed before pupating into adult flies. Mosquitoes have aquatic 'wriggler' larvae, and frogs/fleas have completely different life cycles.
