Bees, wasps, ants, and hornets share a characteristic body plan: most adults have two pairs of wings that are transparent and a narrow waist between the thorax and abdomen. This combination—two membranous wings (fore and hind) and a constricted waist—flows from their place in the Hymenoptera order and helps explain their flight and body shape. While some individuals like worker ants may be wingless, the statement describes the typical features of this group, making it the best fit. The other options pull in the opposite ideas—no wings, three pairs of wings, or a broad waist with no wings—that don’t match how these insects are built.
