Vedclass · Answer

(C) Metamorphosis in insects is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching. This process is primarily regulated by the hormone $Ecdysone$,which is secreted by the prothoracic glands. $Ecdysone$ triggers the molting process and the transition between different developmental stages (larva to pupa to adult). $Pheromones$ are chemical signals used for communication,and $Thyroxine$ is a hormone found in vertebrates,not insects.
