Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The number of generations an insect completes in one year in its natural condition is known as Voltinism.
Voltinism is a term used in biology to indicate the number of broods or generations of an organism in a year. The term is most often applied to insects and is particularly in use in sericulture, where silkworm varieties vary in their voltinism.
The number of breeding cycles in a year is under genetic control in many species and they evolved in response to the environment.
