Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect because dragonflies do not change into damselflies; they are distinct insect species.
• The third option is incorrect as both dragonflies and damselflies have male and female individuals, and this is not a defining difference between the two species.

B. Dragonflies and damselflies have different wing structures.
