The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Hometaboly**: The term "Hometaboly" refers to a type of metamorphosis known as holometabolism. In this process, an organism undergoes complete metamorphosis, which includes distinct life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. 2. **Identifying Options**: The options given are: - A) Lady Bird Beetle - B) Bed Bug - C) Cockroach - D) Grasshopper 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Lady Bird Beetle**: This insect undergoes holometabolism, meaning it goes through complete metamorphosis. Therefore, it is classified as hometabolous. - **Bed Bug**: Bed bugs undergo gradual metamorphosis (hemimetabolism), which does not include a pupal stage. Thus, they are not hometabolous. - **Cockroach**: Cockroaches also do not undergo metamorphosis in the traditional sense; they are considered ametabolous, meaning they do not have distinct larval or pupal stages. - **Grasshopper**: Grasshoppers undergo hemimetabolism, similar to bed bugs, which means they also do not have a complete metamorphosis. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the Lady Bird Beetle is the only option that undergoes complete metamorphosis (hometaboly), the correct answer is **A) Lady Bird Beetle**.
