Answer 2

Female lac insect lays (A) Fertilized eggs

Explanation:

• The lac insects are tiny insects known to destroy the plants by sucking the phloem sap of the plant twigs. The body of the lac insect is made of resinous lac and is called a cell.

• The most common variety of lac insects is Kerria lacca. It is said they lay around  300-1000 eggs together inside their cell. The complete process takes around ten days.  

• The life span of male lac insects is way less than that of a female as they die after copulation. The female lac insects change color while laying eggs.
