Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Maternal care behaviour is observed in females of Dermaptera.
Dermaptera species are among the few non-social insect species that show maternal care. Female species may care for their eggs, and even after they have hatched nymphs will continue to watch over offspring until their second molt.
Another distinct maternal care unique to earwigs is that the mother continuously cleans the eggs to protect them from fungi.
