Which hormonal disruption interferes with a butterfly's metamorphosis from pupa to adult during eclosion?

💡 Explanation

When juvenile hormone (JH) levels remain high during the pupal stage, JH inhibits genes needed for adult development, leading to incomplete metamorphosis during Butterfly eclosion. Therefore elevated JH levels interfere with maturation, rather than reduced ecdysone, circulatory problems, or issues solely disrupting larvae.
