Solution

The correct option is C Honeybee and ant
In honeybee, ant and wasp, the sperms are produced without involving meiosis. In these organisms, the sex is determined by ploidy of an organism. In this, the female is diploid and is derived from fertilized egg. Whereas the male is haploid and sperm production occurs by mitosis (equational division) and not meiosis (reductional division).
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
