Which risk increases when a caterpillar pupates in resource-scarce conditions?

💡 Explanation

Nutrient limitations reduce protein synthesis impairing imaginal disc differentiation, the fundamental precursors of adult structures. Starvation halts development because the process of Resource Allocation favors survival rather than complete transformation. Therefore, incomplete metamorphosis occurs, rather than successful adult emergence.
