Dear Experts,
I am trying to find the actual and strong reason why (A) is wrong.
Although "they" may be ambiguous, "they" can logically refer to wasps because we are talking about wasps and "wasps" is the nearest noun.
However. pronoun ambiguity is not an absolute rule. I'm not sure whether stronger reason to eliminate (A) is that "wasp consist almost entirely of females - the queen and her sterile female workers" doesn't
