(d) If the waggle dance is performed regularly the rows may change as per the location of the food source.
(b) The number ‘4’ is used in the waggle dance.
Explanation:
The characteristic use of the number ‘4’ is not relevant to the waggle dance of honeybees. The waggle dance is a method used by bees to communicate the location and distance of a food source, but it does not involve the use of specific numbers like ‘4’.
- The waggle dance communicates the direction and distance of a food source when it is more than 100 meters from the hive.
- The dance is performed in the form of the figure eight with waggling movement and the direction may change based on the location of food.
- Nowhere does the actual number ‘4’ feature as a characteristic of this dance.
