White grub beetles lay eggs

A. On the underside of the leaf

B. Singly in loose soil up to the depth of 10 cm

C. On the plant stem at the level of ground

D. None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

White grub beetles lay eggs singly in loose soil up to the depth of 10 cm.
May or June beetles seem to prefer grass sod as egg laying sites. The eggs hatch in a few weeks and the larvae feed on the roots of nearby host plants just a few inches below the soil line.
As winter approaches and soil temperatures drop, the true white grubs burrow deep into the ground below the frost line.
