Solution

The correct option is C Instars
Insects shed their exoskeleton in order to grow which is known as moulting. Moulting allows the body of insects to expand under protected conditions. An instar is a developmental stage of insects, between each moult until sexual maturity is reached.
Pupae, grubs (larvae) and caterpillar are stages of metamorphosis ( transformation from egg to adult form with distinct phases ) in insects.
So, the correct option is 'Instars'.
