Vedclass · Answer

(D) The larva of a housefly,commonly known as a maggot,is a legless,worm-like stage. It lacks compound eyes,wings,and functional legs. However,it possesses spiracles for respiration. Therefore,among the given options,both eyes and wings are absent in the larval stage. Since the question asks what it lacks and includes 'All of the above' as an option,we must evaluate the presence of these structures. Spiracles are present in larvae. Thus,'All of the above' is incorrect. Among the choices,eyes and wings are both absent. In standard biology multiple-choice questions of this type,if multiple features are absent,the most comprehensive answer is selected. However,since spiracles are present,the correct answer is that it lacks both eyes and wings. Given the options,this question is often framed to highlight the absence of adult structures in the larval stage.
