  • Which of the following organisms perform waggle dance for others of their kin to indicate the direction and the distance to a source of their food?

Which of the following organisms perform waggle dance for others of their kin to indicate the direction and the distance to a source of their food?

(a) Butterflies

(b) Dragonflies

(c) Honey Bees

(d) Wasps

5. Ans: c

Explanation: 

Astonishingly, honeybees possess one of the most complicated examples of nonhuman communication.

Honey bees use a complex form of spatial referential communication. Their waggle dance communicates to nestmates the direction, distance, and quality of a resource by encoding celestial cues, retinal optic flow, and relative food value into motion and sound within the nest.

Hence, option c is correct.
