D Correct answer
Explanation

Bees have 5 eyes in total - 2 large compound eyes on the sides of their head and 3 simple eyes (ocelli) arranged in a triangular pattern on top of their head. The simple eyes detect light intensity and help with navigation while the compound eyes form images. This anatomical fact is standard in entomology.
