Which obstacle delays metamorphosis among hemimetabolous insect nymphs?

A)Limited molting hormone biosynthesis
B)Premature imaginal disc activation
C)Compromised chitin exoskeleton secretion
D)Accelerated juvenile hormone degradation

💡 Explanation

In hemimetabolous insects, sufficient molting hormone biosynthesis is essential for transitioning between nymphal stages because increased ecdysone levels trigger molting; therefore limits delay development rather than proceeding directly to adult differentiation.
