Solution(By Examveda Team)

Sterile insect release method is best suited for Fruit flies.
Fruit flies are reared in millions and sterilized using gamma or x-rays. The sterile males are then released twice a week in the target areas at 100000 to 300000 sterile males per square kilometre. They mate with the wild females which result in infertile eggs being laid.
