Solution

The correct option is A metamorphosis
Metamorphosis is the process by which the young ones develop from larvae to organisms similar to their parents. It occurs in insects like mosquito, butterfly, honey bee etc.
E.g., the young butterfly that hatches from an egg is called a larva. It develops into a pupa and finally into an adult butterfly.
