Solution

The correct option is A Produced by the worker bees
Beeswax is a natural wax. Bees consume honey causing the special wax-producing glands to convert the sugar into wax which is extruded through small pores. The wax appears as small flakes on the bee's abdomen. The wax is formed into 'scales' by wax-producing glands of worker bees, who discard it at the hive.
