Solution

The correct option is A Father, sons, grandfather and grandsons
Drones (n) are male honey bees which develop by means of parthenogenesis of unfertilized eggs. So they will not have any father. When sperm of a drone fertilizes with the egg it develops into a female. This is called as haplo-diploid sex determination.
Therefore, drones do not have a father and thus cannot have sons but have grandfather and grandson.
