Correct answer: B. Musca - Complete metamorphosis
- A. Pheretima - Sexual dimorphism
- B. Musca - Complete metamorphosis
- C. Chameleon - Mimicry
- D. Taenia - Polymorphism
Explanation
In Musca, development is indirect with complete metamorphosis (holometaboly) including four stages i.e egg, larva, pupa and adult. In complete metamorphosis, larva moults several times after hatching to become a fully grown one. It later becomes a pupa within a secreted case, called the puparium. Pupa differentiates into the young adult that breaks the puparium open and emerges outside. Then it grows to a mature form.
