Solution
The correct option is D Maggot.
- Metamorphosis is defined as the series of changes that occur during the development of adult(mature stage) from the larva(immature stage). The order of metamorphosis in Housefly is Egg, larva or maggot, pupa, and adult.
- The female housefly usually mates only once and stores the sperm for later use. She lays batches of about 100 eggs on decaying organic matter such as food waste, carrion, or faeces. They hatch after about 12 hours and the larvae, or maggots(immature stage), feed on the rotting organic material. A maggot passes through three larval stages and then forms a pupa or cocoon. The adult fly emerges from the cocoon. Houseflies typically develop from egg to adult(mature stage) within 10 days.
- Hence Immature stage of a housefly is Maggot(larva).
- So, the correct answer is 'Maggot'.
