Answer 1

The correct answer is a) silkworm becomes a silk-producing larva.

The silkworm caterpillar has built a cocoon and is entirely enclosed inside of it. There, it will eventually cease moving and shed its exoskeleton that resembles a caterpillar's skin to become a pupa, which is the stage that occurs between being a caterpillar and an adult moth.

The cocoon's underside retains the exoskeleton, also known as exuvia. The body of a silkworm pupa has already begun to resemble that of an adult rather than a caterpillar.

It is shorter, segmented, and has a distinct head as well as the first stages of the adult legs. A pupa's transformation into an adult moth takes around two weeks.
