Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. are warmed to.

  • The verb "warming" is needed in the passive voice to describe the action that is being done to the eggs.
  • "Warming" is the present participle form of the verb "to warm," and is used to describe an ongoing action.
  • The phrase "to a suitable temperature" is the prepositional phrase that describes the goal or endpoint of the warming process.

Therefore, the correct sentence is:

"The eggs are warmed to a suitable temperature for the larvae to hatch from eggs."
