Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Sawfly belongs to the group Hymenoptera.
Sawflies are the insects of the suborder Symphyta within the order Hymenoptera, alongside ants, bees, and wasps. Sawflies are hosts to many parasitoids, most of which are parasitic Hymenoptera; more than 40 species are known to attack them.
The common name comes from the saw-like appearance of the ovipositor, which the females use to cut into the plants where they lay their eggs.
