Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Apis indica is the best suitable species for bee culture.
Apis cerana indica, the Indian honey bee, is a subspecies of Asiatic honey bee. Relatively non-aggressive and rarely exhibiting swarming behavior, it is ideal for beekeeping.
Their nesting habit means that they can potentially colonize temperate or mountain areas with prolonged winters or cold temperatures. Colonies contain only a few thousand workers, compared to the 50,000 typical of European honey bees.
