Solution

The correct option is A

Insects


Pheromones are chemicals secreted by many species of insects to attract potential mates. Insects like honey bees also use pheromones to communicate with each other. Many of these compounds have been isolated in the laboratory and are used as pest control. They lure insects into a sticky trap and reduce their spread.
