Answer: All statements are correct.

Explanation: Worker ants do take care of their young and help forage for food while soldier ants protect the colonies and help clear paths for smaller ants to reach food. Drones are the only males and they also die not too long after mating. Princesses and vir-gin queens do mate and start their colonies, which means that they are also the founder of their colonies.

Hope this helps! :)
