Solution

The correct option is A Honey bee
Parthenogenesis is a natural form of asexual reproduction found most commonly in lower organisms and plants. It is shown by honeybee, where male honeybees (drones) are produced parthenogenetically from unfertilized eggs. The only function of drones is to fertilize the queen bee. Hence, option A is correct.
