Solution

The correct option is C
Caterpillars

Silk is mainly obtained from caterpillars (larva or silkworms) of silk moth of the family, Bombycoidea. Several different groups of silk moths are used to produce wild silk, but the silk cultivated from larvae of the mulberry silkworm moth, Bombyx mori, accounts for most of the commercial production.
