Why was Charles Darwin initially puzzled by the observation that worker bees die when they sting an intrud-er to their hive? (The bee's stinger is ripped from the bee's abdomen, causing a fatal injury.)
 
  a. All defensive behaviors result in the guaranteed destruction of the defender.
  b. Such self-sacrifice is widespread in many different groups of animals.
  c. He found it hard to imagine how such behavior could evolve, as a defending worker's chance of survival is zero.
  d. The stinging apparatus appeared to be too complex to have evolved.
