Solution

The correct option is C Apis
In most honey bees, unfertilized eggs develop into haploid males via arrhenotokous parthenogenesis. The Cape honey bee (Apis mellifera capensis) is different. Although mated queens always produce females sexually, if workers lay unfertilized eggs the eggs develop into diploid females via thelytokous parthenogenesis.

So, the correct answer is 'Apis'.
