Solution

The correct option is D Parthenogenesis, honeybee
Parthenogenesis is the process by which a female gamete or the ovum directly gives rise to the young one without syngamy or fertilisation or the fusion of the male and female gametes. This process is seen in rotifers, honeybees, turkey and some lizards.
