C Correct answer
Explanation

Internal parasites thrive in the intestine of a cow's body. Parasites are organisms that live on other organisms and feed on them. Parasites can be internal as well as external. They can enter into the intestine by going through the mouth when these organisms are swallowed. They move into the intestine where they can reproduce. The environment of intestine facilitates parasite reproduction and growth. External parasites live on the skin, eyes and hairs and cause skin diseases, while internal parasites like worms affect stomach and intestine.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

This is a right option. Butterflies are insects.  A butterfly’s life cycle is made up of four parts, egg, larva (caterpillars), pupa and adult. Butterflies attach their eggs to leaves with a special glue. A larva or caterpillar hatches from each egg. Most caterpillars are plant eaters (herbivores). Fully grown caterpillars attach themselves to a suitable twig or leaf before shedding their outside layer of skin to reveal a hard skin underneath known as a pupa or chrysalis. Later on pupa convert in to butterfly. An adult butterfly will eventually emerge from the chrysalis where it will wait a few hours for its wings to fill with blood and dry, before flying for the first time. Butterflies can live in the adult stage from anywhere between a week and a year, depending on the species.
