I would start by trying to dig into what the paradox is. This one isn't quite as clear as others, but we can pin it down as the fact that drought normally hurts mosquitoes, but in wetlands, it actually helped them. So, the right answer will be something that explains why mosquitoes do better during droughts in wetlands. C isn't anything like what I would have expected, but it does give us a reason why they do better in drought in wetlands. If there are predators that thrive in wetlands, then drought may hurt these predators more than it hurts the mosquitoes themselves. This isn't perfect, as it does require us to think that the drought hurts the predators more than the mosquitoes, but it does give us a reason to think that mosquitoes thrive in drought in wetlands.

I appreciate the explanation! Thank you!
