C) change of a caterpillar into an adult butterfly.

Answer 2

C. change of a caterpillar into an adult butterfly

Step-by-step explanation:

Metamorphosis a biological process in which there is a transformation of one stage to the next stage in the life cycle of an organism. It is initiated and carried out under the influence of the thyroxine hormone. For example, in the life cycle of a butterfly, caterpillar larva changed into a pupa and then pupa transforms into a miniature adult. Metamorphosis indicates the end of larval life and the beginning of the next stage of the butterfly life cycle. Thus, the scenario (change of a caterpillar into an adult butterfly) in not evolution.
