Option 3: "loses her life"

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the text's implication that the worker bee can only use her sting once, which leads to her death. This aligns with the overall theme of self-defense at a great cost.

Option 1: "rescues herself"

Explanation: This option suggests that the worker bee saves herself, which contradicts the information in the text. The text states that the worker uses her sting only once, implying a fatal consequence for the bee, not a rescue.

Option 2: "loses her dignity"

Explanation: While this option implies a loss, it does not relate to the context of the bee's sting usage. The text focuses on the physical consequences of using the sting, not on dignity, making this option irrelevant.

Option 4: "kills the enemy"

Explanation: Although this option suggests an action taken by the bee, it does not capture the consequence of using the sting. The text indicates that the worker bee sacrifices herself, not that she kills an enemy, making this option misleading.
