B) moulting
C) metamorphosis
D) retention of larval traits in the adult body
Correct Answer: D
Solution :

Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching. It involves a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animals body structure through cell growth and differentiation.
