Solution

The correct option is A Maggot
House fly eggs hatch into larvae, also known as maggots. Maggots are legless, white insects that feed from the egg-laying site for three to five days. During this time, maggots molt several times. A freshly hatched larva is about 2 mm. long, white, soft, cylindrical, legless and headless creature.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
