Correct answer: A - Paedogenesis
Paedogenesis is reproduction by larval or pupal (immature) stages, as in some gall midges and the axolotl. Viviparity is the birth of live young by a mature female, and polyembryony is the development of several embryos from one zygote, so neither describes reproduction by an immature stage.
