B Correct answer
Explanation

This is a very simple para jumble. The connections are very easy to work out. Statement C says that 'Queen bees don't empower worker bees'. B definitely has to follow this as it further tells us about the autonomy of worker bees. Also (C $ \to $B), D speaks of moving to new places, which according to A is decided by worker bees (D$ \to $A).  Now, the best link after A that the 'Queen simply follow', i.e.(A$ \to $6).  The perfect connections are there in (2) which is therefore the answer.
