Solution
The correct option is D Locust
The periodic large-scale movement of members of a species to a different environment is called periodic migration.
The desert locusts breed only when and where seasonal rains permit; as a consequence of climatic conditions, therefore, the insects migrate from one breeding area to another. If the available food decreases and the numbers of insects increase too drastically in a particular area, migratory locusts develop.
The bird Arctic Tern, the deer species elk and the big mammal whale are well known for their long yearly migrations.
