Which growth outcome occurs when larval feeding exceeds thresholds in holometabolous insects?

A)Larger imaginal discs form rapidly
B)Molt timing becomes permanently delayed
C)Specific hormones synthesis significantly increases
D)Pupa forms with smaller wing buds

💡 Explanation

Larval feeding triggers larger imaginal discs through increased cellular mitosis, because surplus nutrition availability enhances tissue growth during metamorphosis stages; therefore bigger adult structures, rather than smaller ones will develop, because delayed molting requires different nutritional constraint conditions.
