Which outcome occurs when a juvenile insect's corpora allata remain hyperactive?

A)Sclerotization of the exoskeleton ceases
B)Premature adult characteristics are present
C)Larval molting continues indefinitely
D)The insect cannot enter diapause

💡 Explanation

Continued corpora allata activity maintains high juvenile hormone levels; this causes continuous larval molting rather than pupation, therefore the metamorphic transition to adulthood is blocked, because imaginal discs development for future organs remains suppressed.
