Solution

The correct option is B Unfertilized eggs
The male honey bees are called drones. Drones are formed from the unfertilized eggs i.e. haploid eggs of the queen bee. Fertilized eggs form queens and female workers. Drones are meant for mating with the queen bee and soon die after mating.
So, the correct answer is 'Unfertilised eggs'.
