Use the Following Information to Answer the Question Below

Multiple Choice

Use the following information to answer the question below.
Some plants continually produce secondary defense compounds. Other plants are induced to form secondary defense compounds when they are injured. Corn seedling leaves that are chewed on by the caterpillars of a type of cutworm moth emit immediate volatile chemicals (LOX products) , and after 6 hours large amounts of terpenoid compounds are released into the air. The terpenoids are released not only from the leaf being chewed but from all leaves of the plant. The terpenoid compounds attract a parasitoid wasp female that lays her eggs on the caterpillar. When the wasp larvae hatch, they eat and kill the moth caterpillar. (T.C.J. Turlings, J. H. Loughrin, P. J. McCall, U. S. R. Rose, W. J. Lewis, and J. H. Tumlinson. 1995.

A) The attracting terpenoid compounds are always present in the corn seedling.
B) Physical injury by the caterpillar mouthparts results in the immediate release of terpenoids.
C) Chemical signals from the caterpillar saliva attract the parasitic wasp.
