There are different ways to prevent mosquito larvae to grow in ponds and rice fields. These can be done by not allowing the water to get stagnant. Also, it can be prevented by inoculating it with Microcystis cyanobacteria. Microcystis aeruginosa causes death of the larvae by producing neurotoxins and hepatotoxins.

Iron is an important component of hemoglobin which is present in red blood cells. It carries oxygen from lungs to different parts of the body. Sources of iron includes sunflower seeds, nuts, beef, beans, green leafy vegetables, tofu, amla, jaggery. Iron deficiency can leads to anemia, that is low number of hemoglobin as there is insufficient iron in the body to produce enough of hemoglobin.

• Anemia is a condition in which the blood doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin.
• Iron is the major component in the formation of Haemoglobin. Hence deficiency of iron results in iron deficiency anemia.
• Hence Anemia is occurred due to Iron deficiencies.
• So, the correct answer is 'Iron deficiencies'.

•  Iron is an essential element for blood production. 
• About 70 per cent of your body's iron is found in the red blood cells of your blood called haemoglobin and in muscle cells called myoglobin.
•  Haemoglobin is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood from the lungs to the tissues. Hence, the role of iron in the blood is that it helps to transport oxygen. 

• Anaemia is a condition in which the blood doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells. 
• The major causes are iron deficiency (low-level iron) anaemia and thalassemia (inherited disorders of haemoglobin).  
• Iron-rich foods include peanuts, jaggery chikkis, almonds, walnuts, soy nuts and raisins, amla and green vegetables helps to prevent anaemia. 
• Hence, jaggery, amla and green vegetables help to cure anaemia. 
• So, the correct answer is 'all the above'.
