Answer:

A worker bee defends the hive while the queen bee lays eggs

A prairie dog barks to alert family members when it spots a predator

Step-by-step explanation:

Just like people, some animals live in communities, where each of them plays a certain role. For those animals, we can say that they live in a social hierarchy.

Examples that describe something like this are the second and fourth ones.

In a hive, there are different types of bees: workers, drones, and a queen. Each of them plays their role, which makes their hive function properly.

Prairie dogs are another example of species that live in large communities. Since they are small and have numerous predators, they rely on each other for protection. They do this by barking whenever they spot a predator, this way alerting other members of their community.

The rest of the statements simply tell about how some species live without mentioning their social life. This is why they are incorrect.
