Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Insects
Answer: C. Cicada, Froghopper and Pond skater are all INSECTS.
(1) Cicada (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) is a true bug famous for the loud songs of males.
(2) Froghopper (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) is the insect whose nymphs produce the protective 'spit' (cuckoo-spit) on plants.
(3) Pond skater (Hemiptera: Gerridae) is the aquatic insect that walks on the water surface thanks to hydrophobic legs and surface tension.
All three are members of the order Hemiptera (true bugs). None are birds, fish or reptiles.
