Answer: (B)

Karl Von Frisch

Answer 2

Honey bees, despite their small size, have one of the most sophisticated communication systems. In a series of classic experiments dating from the $1920s$, the Austrian Biologist Karl Von Frisch investigated how honey bees communicate with each other, and other scientists have extended his works. He received Nobel prize for Physiology or Medicine, with K. Lorenz and N. Tinbergen for his achievements in comparative behavioural physiology and pioneering work in communication between insects $(1973)$, His work centered on investigations of the sensory perceptions of the honey bees and he was one of the first to translate the meaning of the waggle dance.
