Solution

The correct option is B Housefly
  • The pupal stage occurs only in holometabolic insects i.e those that undergo a complete metamorphosis, going through four life stages; egg, larva, pupa, and imago(adult). For example, Housefly, Beetle, Butterfly, moths, wasps, etc.
  • During the time of pupation, that the adult structures of the insect are formed whilst the larval structures are broken down.
  • Hence Pupa occurs in the life cycle of Housefly.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Housefly',
