Begin by understanding the terms involved in the problem: 'larvae', 'metamorphosis', and 'juveniles'.
Larvae are the early, immature forms of animals that are often very different in appearance from the adult form.
Metamorphosis is the biological process through which larvae transform into a different stage, often involving significant changes in form and function.
Juveniles are the stage that follows metamorphosis, where the organism resembles the adult form but is not yet sexually mature.
To solve the problem, match the terms to the correct sequence: larvae undergo metamorphosis to become juveniles.
