Which consequence results when premature degradation impairs larval prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) secretion?

A)Accelerated chitin synthesis suppression occurs
B)Adult cuticle formation accelerates greatly
C)Incomplete metamorphosis follows, fatally
D)Elevated juvenile hormone analogue titers

💡 Explanation

Incomplete metamorphosis occurs because insufficient PTTH prevents ecdysone release, impacting larval molting to pupae; therefore development arrests midway, rather than completing the life cycle due to this hormonal deficiency.
