The correct option is: (b) corpora allata
Explanation:
Juvenile hormone is secreted by corpora allata, a retrocerebral complex present in insect brain. Chemically it is an unsaponifiable, nonsterolic lipid. This hormone regulates morphogenesis and so promotes metamorphosis, i.e. development of the larva into adult through pupal stage.
