Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Is is said that the queen gets mated only in her life but in a single chance of mating it lays about `1500-2000` eggs in a day. After mating the queen lays eggs in one brood cell. The larvae emerge out from both the fertilized as well as unfertilized eggs. Thus the larvae from the unfertilized eggs form the drones while the worker is developed from the larvae of fertilized eggs.
