Solution

The correct option is D Both B and C
Metamorphosis is a biological process by which there is a profound change in form from one stage to the next in the life history of an organism, as from the caterpillar to pupa and from the pupa to adult. Some insects, fishes, amphibians, molluscs, crustaceans, cnidarians, echinoderms and tunicates undergo metamorphosis. Humans do not undergo metamorphosis.
So, the correct answer is 'Both B and C'
