Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding life cycle of silk worm and production of silk fibres?
A.The larvae of silk moths are called as caterpillars.
B.The pupa develops into caterpillar.✓ Correct
C.Silk fibres are proteins secreted by caterpillars.
D.The silk yarn is obtained from the cocoon of the silk moth.
Explanation
In the silkworm life cycle, the egg hatches into a larva (caterpillar), which then develops into a pupa inside a cocoon, and finally emerges as an adult moth. So the caterpillar develops into the pupa, not the other way around. Statement 2 reverses this and is therefore incorrect. The other statements are factually correct.
