A. Cassididae

C. Buprestidae

D. Tenebrionidae

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The insect family whose larvae are called 'Round headed borers' is Cerambycidae.
The antennal sockets are located on low tubercles on the face; other beetles with long antennae lack these tubercles, and cerambycids with short antennae still possess them.
The larvae, called roundheaded borers, bore into wood, where they can cause extensive damage to either living trees or untreated lumber.
