Hello Student,
Please find answer to your question below:

Diapause is a stage of suspended development. For example under unfavourable conditions many zooplanktons species in lakes and ponds are known to enter diapause.
Hibernation reffers to winter sleep. For example, bear fo into khibernation during winter season to protect themselves from the severe cold condition.
