Solution

The correct option is A Two types, one forming queen and workers and second forming drones
The bees develop from fertilized or unfertilized eggs laid by the queen at the bottom of the cells. Fertilized eggs are laid into worker cells and queen cells, and the unfertilized into drone cells. The egg develops in three days and the female queen and worker larvae hatch from fertilized eggs, and male larvae hatch from unfertilized eggs.
