Solution

The correct option is D mesothorax and metathorax
Thorax consists of three segments – prothorax, mesothorax and metathorax. The first pair of wings arise from mesothorax, and the second pair from metathorax. Forewings (mesothoracic) called tegmina are opaque dark and leathery and cover the hind wings when at rest. The hind wings are transparent, membranous and are used in flight. Hence, the correct answer is mesothorax and metathorax.
