According to the survivorship curve, the survivorship from the egg to larval stage is 68%. Therefore, the remaining 32% did not survive to the next stage. The survivorship from the larval to pupal stage can be calculated by taking the number of individuals that survived to the pupal stage divided by the number of individuals that were in the larval stage (i.e. 100 - 32 = 68 individuals). From the graph, we can see that approximately 93% (63/68) of individuals survived from the larval to pupal stage. Therefore, the answer is A) 93% (0.93).
