Solution

The correct option is B Honeybee to produce drones
Parthenogenesis refers to the development of an individual from unfertilized eggs. In honey bees, the mode of parthenogenesis is arrhenotoky in which only females are produced from fertilized eggs, while males or drones develop from unfertilized egg.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
