Solution

The correct option is A Royal jelly
In a bee colony, all bee larvae are fed some royal jelly (a protein-rich secretion from glands on the heads of young workers) for the first few days after hatching but only queen larvae are fed on it exclusively. As a result of the difference in diet, the queen will develop into a sexually mature female, unlike the worker bees. Hence, option C is correct.
