Solution
The correct option is A Pupa
In the pupa stage, the caterpillar weaves a net to hold itself. The caterpillar covers itself completely with silk fibre and turns into a pupa, this covering is known as the cocoon. The moth continues to develop within the cocoon. The silk thread or yarn is obtained from the silk moth’s cocoon.
