Solution
The correct option is A Egg
The Silkworm, Bombyx mori produces silk of commercial importance. The life cycle of silkworm includes four distinct stages of development: egg (ova), larvae, pupa, and imago.
Egg is the first stage of a silkworm’s life cycle. The female moth lays an egg which is very small and a hard structure. The eggshell provides a protective covering for embryonic development.
