The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Parthenogenesis**: - Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism develops from an unfertilized egg. This process is commonly observed in lower organisms and some plants. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The options given are honey bees, silkworm, earthworm, and housefly. We need to determine which of these organisms exhibits parthenogenesis. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Honey Bees**: In honey bees, drones (male bees) are produced from unfertilized eggs through parthenogenesis. This means that the drones do not require fertilization to develop. - **Silkworm**: Silkworms do not reproduce through parthenogenesis; they require fertilization. - **Earthworm**: Earthworms also do not exhibit parthenogenesis; they reproduce sexually. - **Housefly**: Houseflies reproduce sexually and do not show parthenogenesis. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the only organism from the provided options that exhibits parthenogenesis is the honey bee. **Final Answer**: Honey bee ---
