Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Ribbon-like hind wings are present in Nemopteridae.
Nemopteridae, the spoon wings, are a family of neuropteran insects. They are also called thread-winged antlions. The long streamer is conspicuous when the insects are flying and these are the elongated and spatulate hindwings.
Adult Nemopteridae, the spoon-winged lacewings and the thread-winged lacewings, have an extraordinary appearance and are easily recognized by their ribbon or thread-like hind wings which are much longer than the fore wings.
