Which of the following statements about termite development is correct?

They undergo complete metamorphosis.
They develop by gradual metamorphosis.
They do not undergo any metamorphosis.
They undergo incomplete metamorphosis.

The correct answer is: They develop by gradual metamorphosis.

Termites develop through gradual metamorphosis, which entails a life cycle that includes three main stages: egg, nymph, and adult. This developmental process is characterized by smaller nymphs that gradually resemble adults as they grow, rather than undergoing drastic morphological changes or distinct life stages as seen in complete metamorphosis. In contrast to complete metamorphosis, where larvae undergo significant changes, or incomplete metamorphosis, where nymphs look somewhat like adults but lack wings until they mature, termites retain a more consistent body form throughout their development. Therefore, the correct focus here is on the gradual process by which termites develop, highlighting the nature of their morphology during growth phases.
