• A. By producing testosterone
• B. By producing oestrogen
• C. By producing pheromones
• D. By producing formic acid

Answer 1

The correct option is C

By producing pheromones

Ants make long trails using chemicals called pheromones. Pheromones are chemical substances that are secreted in trace amounts to the surroundings to facilitate communication among organisms. So the chemical messages of the pheromones help the ants to create and maintain a trail, and live in colonies.
