A tadpole develops into an adult frog by the process of

a. Fertilization

b. Metamorphosis

c. Embedding

d. Budding

 

The correct answer is b. Metamorphosis.

A tadpole develops into an adult frog through a process called metamorphosis. During metamorphosis, the tadpole undergoes a series of changes, such as the growth of legs, the development of lungs, and the loss of its tail, transforming it into a fully-formed adult frog. Metamorphosis is a biological process where an organism changes significantly in its form and structure from an immature stage to an adult form.
