Answer should be C ,as only larvae in the life cycle of moth produce silk fibres , pupa or cocoon does NOT make silk fibres . They only undergo change in stage IN the silk fibres. They do not have the ability to produce silk fibres !

IT IS 'D' BECAUSE AT COCOON STAGE THE CATERPILLAR PRODUCES SILK FIBRES AND KNOTS AROUND IT AND COVERS HIMSELF.AFTER SOME TIME THE SILK FIBRES GETS HARDEN DUE TO THE GUMMY SUBSTANCE WHICH THE CATERPILLAR PRODUCES............IT IS CALLED "FIBROIN" WHICH IS MADE UP OF PROTEINS.ON HEATING THE COCOONS IN WATER THE SILK AGAIN BECOMES SOFT AND IS EXTRACTED FROM COCOONS........THIS PROCESS IS CALLED "REELING OF SILK"

OPTION C

Krishna Patidar from Advanced Academy, Indore

No, the answer is 'C' only. In pupa stage the silk fiber is only obtained, but actually it is produced by larva and in question it is asked which stage produces fiber. Hence, the answer is 'C".

Ans 13:

Sanjaykumar S from Velammal, chennai
Class : Class 7
ans:c,you may think d,but only in larval stage it produce silk in option d it is in a cocoon stage it cannot produce silk

Ans 14:

Ryan Ganguly from Ebenezer International School, Bangalore
Class : Class 8
The answer is C as at that time of a Silkworms life it will produce silk. With that silk they will make a cacoon and then they will become a Moth. While it is a Pupa it does not have the ability to make Silk hence the answer is C

This is a trick question.. It says 'produced', not 'obtained'.. The larvae produce the silk fibre, then it is obtained from cocoon..

Ans 17:

Arushi from Indira National School, Pune

also felt d but explanation provided above makes me feel c

Ans 18:

D VISHNU from NARAYANA SCHOOL, CHENNAI
Class : Class 7
the answer is d only in the cocoon stage they are heated in the hot water so that the reproducing caterpillar will die and it will be very easy to extract silk fiber from it.

admin please answer

Ans 20:

ARUNAV from DPS VINDHYANAGAR, VINDHYANAGAR
Class : Class 10
really confusing ... the answer option d is correct in the sense that produces means extracting the silk or when it is ready to extracted by humans. but option c is correct when produces means that when larva , itself after the fourth moult stage produces silk.

Ans 21:

Yashna Badiye from sagar public school saket nagar, Bhopal
Class : Class 8
as larva produces and when it is fully produced it forms a cocoon
