Solution

The correct option is C White ants
When organisms of the same species live together in a group, it is called as a colony. They live together to get the benefits such as reproduction, food, and defense. Some insects like ants and honey bees live only in colonies. Ants, bees, and wasps all have a queen who controls the colony and no king. Males are sperm donors and nothing else. The workers and soldiers are all female. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
