Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: "Naid" is specific to aquatic insect juveniles and "crawler" to scale insects, neither is a general term for gradual metamorphosis.
Step 2: "Stadium" is a generic inter-moult period, not exclusive to gradual metamorphosis.
Step 3: The young in hemimetabolous (gradual) metamorphosis, resembling wingless adults, are specifically called nymphs.
\[ \boxed{\text{Nymph}} \]
