Solution

The correct option is D Unfertilized eggs
Drones are created from unfertilized eggs. These eggs can be laid by the queen herself or, in some situations, by worker bees, though this is not a healthy sign. Drones are created for one purpose – to mate with a queen.

So, the correct answer is 'D'.
