Answer: D
The only natural resin of animal origin, lac, is produced by Kerria lacca.
Lac is secreted by the lac insect, Kerria lacca, which feeds on host trees such as kusum, palas and ber. The female insects cover themselves with a resinous secretion that is scraped off as stick lac and refined into shellac, used in varnishes, polishes, bangles, sealing wax and food coatings. India is a leading producer.
Phenacoccus solenopsis is the cotton mealybug, a crop pest. Ogyris is a genus of butterflies and Gynnidomorpha a genus of moths; none of them produces lac.
