Detailed Explanation

Bombyx mori (mulberry silkworm) feeds on Morus alba (mulberry) (A-3). Attacus ricini (eri silkworm) feeds on Ricinus communis (castor) (B-1). Antheraea assama (muga silkworm) feeds on Machilus (Machilus bombycina) (C-4). Antheraea mylitta (tasar silkworm) feeds on Terminalia tomentosa (Asan) and other Terminalia species (D-2). This is the correct host plant association for these commercially important silkworms.

Hint

Match each silkworm type to its specific host plant based on sericulture knowledge.
