Answer 2

Option C reproduction is the right answer.

• In a beehive, there is a hierarchical order of bees.
• Different duties are performed by bees belonging to different categories.
• For example, the Queen bee is the goddess of the hive.
• Her only job is to reproduce by laying eggs.
• The drone bees mate with the queen bee.
• Worker bees do all the other household duties like collecting the nectar, producing honey, keeping the bee hive clean, attending to the queen and larvae, etc.
• So mules and worker bees never reproduce.
