Solution
The correct option is D Both 1 and 2 are correct
Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction in which an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual. The egg develops into a haploid male which is the drone.
Queen honey bee produces eggs which after fertilization with sperm received from drone results in the formation of a female honey bee as offspring. This is an example of sexual reproduction. Hence fertilized egg develops into a diploid female.
