The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Lac**: Lac is a natural resin produced by certain insects, specifically from the lac insect (Kerria lacca). It is important to know what lac is and its source. 2. **Identifying the Insect**: Lac is secreted by the female lac insect. The male lac insects have a very short lifespan and do not contribute significantly to the secretion of lac. 3. **Comparing Male and Female Contributions**: The female lac insects secrete lac throughout their life, while males do not participate much in this process due to their short life span. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the females produce lac throughout their longer lifespan and contribute the majority of the secretion, the correct answer to the question is that lac is produced far more by females than males. **Final Answer**: Lac is produced far more by females than males. ---
