All wasp hives have only one female capable of reproduction. This female, commonly known as the queen, attracts male drones by producing a specialized hormone. However, at the end of her reproductive life, the queen produces an enzyme that halts the production of this hormone. This enzyme can be synthesized and, on being ingested by a queen, effectively renders her sterile, destroying the hive.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the view that it would NOT be advisable to try to eradicate environmentally invasive wasps by spraying infested areas with the enzyme mentioned above?
A. Many species of wasps are vital to the well-being of the ecosystem.
B. Many environmentally destructive, invasive insect species are not wasps.
C. Most species of wasps have at least some natural predators.
D. Since wasps of different species are capable of swiftly producing new queens, several sprayings would be necessary.
E. Although laboratories have been able to synthesize the enzyme, there are no facilities capable of producing it on a large scale.

I will with option A
A. Many species of wasps are vital to the well-being of the ecosystem. This suggests that spraying the enzyme in an area would affect ALL wasp species—not just the invasive ones—potentially harming beneficial wasps that are important to the ecosystem. This is a strong reason against the plan.
B. Many environmentally destructive, invasive insect species are not wasps. This is irrelevant. The plan targets invasive wasps specifically; the existence of other invasive insects doesn't make this plan inadvisable.
C. Most species of wasps have at least some natural predators. This might suggest alternative control methods exist, but doesn't strongly argue against using the enzyme.
D. Since wasps of different species are capable of swiftly producing new queens, several sprayings would be necessary. This suggests the plan might require more effort, but doesn't make it inadvisable—just that it would need to be repeated.
E. Although laboratories have been able to synthesize the enzyme, there are no facilities capable of producing it on a large scale. This is a practical limitation about current production capacity, but doesn't address whether the plan should be implemented if it could be.

all wasp hive only one female of reproduction.
female hive attracts male by producing specialized hormone.
but at the end of her reproductive life, the queen produces an enzyme that halts production of hormone.
when artificially created enzyme is ingested by queen, she looses her sterile and get destroyed.
in simple words, why its not advisable to try to remove invasive wasps with artificial enzyme?
A. Many species of wasps are vital to the well-being of the ecosystem.
perfect. as the passage says female hives are the only one for reproduction and once you ingest this artificial one to female, it will halt the production of the hormone and in return renders the sterile and ultimately kills the hive. and once they are no more, there will not be more hives coming and thats not good for well being for ecosystem. keep
B. Many environmentally destructive, invasive insect species are not wasps.
here we are only concerned with wasps and the threat of artificial enzyme on them. this choice has no impact on the suggestion provided. reject.
C. Most species of wasps have at least some natural predators.
so then we have more reason not be bad to queens, since they already have natural predators. reject.
D. Since wasps of different species are capable of swiftly producing new queens, several sprayings would be necessary.
this weaken the idea then. we can spray the area and not get worried about because wasps of different species will be able to produce new queens. so it doesnt matter. so reject.
E. Although laboratories have been able to synthesize the enzyme, there are no facilities capable of producing it on a large scale.
we are not concerned in producing them at large scale or so. even if we have smaller quantity and spray them in infested area it still does its job. so this has no impact o n our goal. reject.
