The correct answer is option 2: Mosquito. This animal is sanguinivorous, which means it feeds on blood. Mosquitoes are well-known for their ability to bite humans and other animals, puncturing their skin and feeding on their blood. This behavior is predominantly observed in female mosquitoes, as they require the nutrients from blood in order to produce eggs. Fruit-flies (option 1) do not feed on blood but are attracted to decaying fruits and vegetables. House-flies (option 3) are not sanguinivorous either and mainly feed on sugary substances and rotting organic matter. Snails (option 4) are herbivorous and feed on plants. Thus, the correct answer to the question is indeed option 2: Mosquito.
