D Correct answer
Explanation

In frog metamorphosis, the development of transplanted tissues depends on the developmental stage and the specific inductive signals present in the host environment. When eye primordia are transplanted to the tail region, they lack the necessary embryonic induction signals to differentiate into functional eyes, resulting in no development.
