Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Pharoschimnus horni is a Coccinelid predator.
Coccinellidae is a widespread family of small beetles. Many of the species have conspicuous aposematic colours and patterns, such as red with black spots, that warn potential predators that they are distasteful.
Coccinellids are best known as predators of Sternorrhyncha such as aphids and scale insects. Most predatory coccinellids include other items in their diets, such as honeydew, pollen, plant sap, nectar and fungi.
