Solution

The correct option is C
They attack by pricking with their sting

The honeybees attack the enemy by pricking with their sting.The sting is serrated on one side and on the other side is attched to their abdomen in such a way that when it pricks the enemy's body, it tears the abdomen, gets detached from it and sticks to the enemy.
