Solution

The correct option is A
Juvenile phase

The life cycle of an organism can be divided into three different phases- the juvenile or vegetative phase, reproductive or mature phase and senescence or old age. The transition between these three phases are also guided by hormones. And the period of growth and maturity in organisms before they can reproduce sexually is known as juvenile.
