The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Culex and Anopheles are the two genera of mosquitoes. Maxillary palps are a pair of long and segmented structures bearing tactile hair and project from the sides at the base of proboscis. In Anopheles, palps are nearly as long as proboscis in both sexes, but in male, their ends are club-shaped. In Culex, palps are much shorter than proboscis in female, but slightly longer in male.

Structural Organisation of Different Organs and Organ Systems

The structural organization of different organs can be categorized into tissue systems and organ systems.

Tissue Systems:

The biological definition of tissue places it in-between the cells and organs in the organizational level of the cell. Thus, tissues are the in-between stage of cells and complete organs and organ systems. A tissue is a collection of cells and their extracellular matrix arising from the same origins to carry out a specific function.

Organ Systems:

An organ system is formed by two or more organs that work together to perform and execute a specific function. This organ system is also known as the biological system or the body system.
