Solution

The correct option is A Incomplete or cyclic parthenogenesis
Incomplete parthenogenesis or cyclic parthenogenesis is a process where sexual generation alternates with parthenogenesic generation. For example, in bees and wasps, some eggs develop without fertilization and produce males, while those eggs that are fertilized developed into females. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
