Solution
The correct option is B Heteromorphic regeneration
Heteromorphic regeneration is the phenomenon in which a different organ develops from the one that has been removed. For example, In lobsters, the eye is regenerated, If it is removed from the eyestalk. But if the eye is removed along with optic ganglion, instead of eye an antenna like the organ is regenerated.
This type of regeneration occurs in lower animals.
Hence The development of antenna-like structure in place of the eye in lobster is an example of Heteromorphic regeneration.
So, the correct answer is 'Heteromorphic regeneration'.
